rt2500 Chipset based PCI card...help!

Hi everyone! :)
I have a rt2500 based PCI card, and I downloaded drivers for it, an rpm, and installed it, but I'm not sure if it worked. I am running mandrake linux 10.1, and even IF my wireless card is working, I have nowhere to connect to my network/input settings, etc. If someone could direct me to some good wireless software, or some good rt2500 drivers, I would appreciate it. I also downloaded some rt2500 drivers but they were .tar.gz and I don't know how to compile them into an installer.
Thanks.
