Ethernet transmission is broadband not tuned like a radio but the same equations as presented in the article hold across most of the bandwidth (where the skin effect holds). Actually, I am not sure whether the article is referring to tuned or broadband communication but in a sense it is irrelevant because practically, a large proportion of the energy transmitted in a modern broadband system is in the skin effect domain. If this wasn't the case, the system would be highly inefficient in the use of available bandwidth.

The carrier frequency for 10b2 is 10Mhz.

It's not a modulated signal encoding. There's no modulation, and so there's no carrier.

The bandwidth is probably 20MHz, due to the Manchester encoding.

It is Manchester encoding on a 10MHz clock signal. Perhaps carrier isn't quite the right word.

I take back by correction. Thanks, and sorry. Manchester encoding really is a form of phase modulation (BPSK). It makes sense to think of it as a 10MHz baseband signal modulated by a 10MHz carrier, and therefore having a 20Mhz bandwidth.
