[App_rpt-users] Network Driver

The Intel D510 MO I have has a Realtek ethernet chipset. The ACID distro 
had no problem with that.

The Shuttle XS35-704 seems to have the same micro but has a different 
ethernet chipset (JME) according to the spec sheet. Acid has no driver 
for it and that is the problem.
