Are you sure the kernels agree?
I had problems getting the driver to work when the kernel sources I had grabbed were for a different version of the kernel than the one the target system was running. Mandrake 9.2 has a couple of variants (-mdk10, -mdk22 if I recall), where the original one had the LG CD-ROM bug, and the latter one had it patched. The driver is too picky and has to be compiled for the running kernel.
Search for an ADMtek 8211 thread with my handle (isdnip) and you'll see how it played out. It worked reasonably well for a while, though now I've switched that machine to Mepis and it has trouble doing " iwconfig eth0 ", I think because the ADMtek driver wants to call itself Ethernet, and the wireless tools in Mepis don't normally work on Ethernet. That was not a problem with Mandrake.
