Ehmmmm Mandrake claims to be a company, the correct place to send it
is to them and not Red Hat.

I had someone complain about weirdness with the AceNIC driver in the
Mandrake kernel dunno if it is related. The AceNIC driver in the
Mandrake kernel and the Red Hat ones are supposedly identical (I
didn't change anything between 2.2.5 and 2.2.9), this user switched to
Red Hat and the problem went away.

Not saying the Mandrake kernel is necessarily broken, just pointing
out that strange things have been seen wrt Ethernet behavior.
