I've not tried wireless netowrking, but sound works fine on a 770Z with
Red Hat 9, and my PCMCIA ethernet (non-wireless) works fine.  Have you
tried a distribution other than Mandrake?  Perhaps Red Hat 9 or Fedora
Core 1?

Note that I have NOT tried ALSA on the 770z, but the OSS drivers
(set up manually with sndconfig, use cs4232 driver) work fine.  (I'm
moving and my old 770Z is packed up at the moment, otherwise I'd give you
a copy of modules.conf).

This is for the 600E and Red Hat 6, but it shows you what settings to
enter for a 770Z as well (just look at the sound part):

Also, make sure Quick Boot is DISabled in Easy Setup, else you may have
trouble...
