I think Mandrake does have some sort of hardware detection
functionality, but I don't use Mandrake that much.
The easiest thing to do is to edit the file /etc/conf.modules. You'll
find there a line that looks like:
alias eth0 old_card_chipset.o
you should replace it with:
alias eth0 new_card_chipset.o
which in your case, this being a 3Com 100, is most probably 3c59x.o
After that restart the network (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart).
Tell us what happend ;-)
