The first issue I found when boot into Leopard is the wireless. Leopard can't recognize the Atheros AR928x wireless card. There are lots of discussions about this issue on the web.
Easy solution is buying a new wireless card. I read a lot of posts and the winner was Dell Wireless 1510 N mini PCI-E half size card on eBay for less than $30. My new wireless card is on the mail, so more about this soon.
I plugged the Realtek 10/100 NIC into my home router and Ethernet looks disconnected. Modify Network card settings using following steps fixed the issue.
System Preferences
Network
Ethernet
Configure: Manually
Speed: 100baseTX
Duplex: Full-Duplex
MTU: Standard (1500)
If you have NIC issues, I recommend downloading the file RealtekR1000.kext (Realtek Network card driver) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/realtekr1000/ and reinstall .kext file using Kext Helper b7 from http://cheetha.net
If you got a kernel panic message (like blue screen on Windows) that said "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button..." you need to remove the .kext file and reinstall again.
