Mandrake 9.1 and 9.2 had only very preliminary wireless config at best. 
Mandrake 10 has a totally new drakconnect.  Hopefully it will work better for you.

BTW, I'm a Mandrake developer, I have two wireless cards, and I've yet to find a
way to get either of them working as quickly and easily as Windows does.  It's
one of the few thorns in my side.
