Hello I would like to make a HOWTO: fix the realtek network card on the asus
eee box. Centos 5.2 detects it as r8186 but it doesn't work right out of the
box. Thanks to #centos and google I was able to get it to work.
When writing that page, could you also check out this wiki article by
Scott Robbins:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/WirelessAR5007EG
which refers to (other nic) used in EeePC?
I thought I edited that page (although checking, I see that I didn't.)
The 5007EG is in the older ones but the newest generation is using the
card that Karol mentions--at least, the latest 900 series is using that
Realtek. I'm going to edit the page in a minute to change the "eee pc"
to "some models of the eee pc."
Let's make sure we do not make a confusion. 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.
