Hey Brian,

You should be able to add this line to /etc/modules.conf

	alias eth0 ne2k-pci

and that should be it. When you restart the network (reboot or run
/sbin/service network restart), it should automagically load the 
8390 & ne2k-pci modules.

If that doesn't do the trick, you can force it by adding a couple lines
to rc.local. I'm not sure exactly where rc.local is on Mandrake 7.2, 
probably /etc/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/rc.local

	/sbin/insmod 8390
	/sbin/insmod ne2k-pci
