The linux kernel should detect the ricoh cradle as a pci<>pcmcia bridge, 
probably all you need to tell mandrake is that the hard ware is there, 
or what modules to load.

You'll need to install software like pcmcia-cs and wireless_tools 
(should be on your cd's), via whatever method mandrake gives you.

After thats done, it should be working. I don't know if mandrake 
supplies any gui configuration tools. If not, /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts 
or so should be the file you are looking for ;)

Thanks,
