The first thing that you may want to do is see if your wireless card is supported. Go to the Mandrake site and look for your card to see if it is supported in their hardware database.
Secondly, there seems to be some issues with the notebook and Mandrake 9.2. See;

Do a search on linux Compaq NX9005 or mandrake Compaq NX9005 on Google and see what comes up. For example, I found the following;

And the wireless card will probably need some work. See;
