Yeah... I'm guessing it's an ISA card, I used to have an ISA ESS 1868(?) can't remember the exact numbers as I've given it away... But, yeah... Linux should automatically recognize it, especially if it was installed when he installed Mandrake as MDK is great for automatically setting up hardware and stuff. Especially as it's been out for way longer than the OS.

Mandrake 7.0 uses the 2.2 kernel and is painfully slow compaired to 2.4 series -as long as we are recommending upgrade why not Mandrake 9.2? -it's available for free download and if you don't have a high speed connection you might be able to go to a local colleage and get someone to download and burn a copy for you for free.
