EeePC != Eee Box AFAIK (correct me if I am wrong ): - EeePC (the subnotebook thingie) uses Atheros chipsets (both for wired and Wi-Fi); - Eee Box has an R8111b rev2 chipset for wired connections and .. I do not know what for wireless (5' of googling did not lead to a name for the chipset) As of Karol's enthusiasm: I am glad that your PC is functional, but for the moment (as I have updated the list of boards known to work with realtek's driver and also to not work with the stock driver) I fail to see what content do you intend to provide to supplement the information already covered by http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/HardwareList/RealTekRTL8111b (and by the supplemental and yet unofficial quick-howto from my fedora homepage) As a sidenote, none of the items related to Eee Box seem to have anything in common with Scott's tutorial, as he has just pointed out.
