Very Computer

I've just installed Mandrake 8.1 on my PC.
The problem is that it doesn't recognize my LAN card (in Windows 98 is a
generic NE2000 card).
What I have to do ??

The PC is an old P120Mhz, 32Mb Ram, 4GB HD: it seems to me that Linux is
very slow (5 minutes to open the Help or any other program) compared to
the Win98 also installed (max 30 sec to open the normal software I use).
Is it normal ????

Thanks,
Corrado

Regarding the speed, you should get more memory.  It is cheap nowadays.
Are you running X and a window manager such as KDE or GNOME?  You don't
have enough horsepower or memory for that.  Either use a less demanding
window manager or stick to non-graphical mode.
