I'm a huge EBERRON fan, and was excited to find out that it was being supported in Dungeon magazine. After picking up a bunch of issues, I sorted them to find all the EBERRON-related articles. I note that Keith Baker is putting conversion notes for the Age of Worms Adventure Path in every issue, which also gave me the idea to do that for other adventures. So, I figured it would be a good idea to list the published adventures, and also to post conversion notes in one place.
ARTICLES:
111: Critical Threat: The Lord of Blades
113: Insert: EBERRON Poster Map
122: Backdrop: The Ring of Storms, by Keith Baker
Of these, I think the Ring of Storms article is invaluable to the EBERRON DM. The Lord of Blades writeup is not as important since his stats were reprinted in the Five Nations book.
ADVENTURES:
113: The Queen with Burning Eyes, by James Wyatt (1st level)
115: Steel Shadows, by Keith Baker (7th level)
117: Fallen Angel, by Keith Baker (4th level)
123: Crypt of Crimson Stars, by Andy Collins and James Wyatt (7th level)
124: Temple of the Scorpion God, by James Wyatt and Andy Collins (7th level)
125: Pit of the Fire Lord, by Andy Collins and James Wyatt (6th level)
Steel Shadows is a great EBERRON adventure, fully enmeshed in the EBERRON setting; I highly recommend it. Crypt of Crimson Stars, Temple of the Scorpion God, and Pit of the Fire Lord are loosely related, as the Shards of EBERRON campaign arc. The rest are good, solid adventures.

SPOILER ALERT: The rest of the thread will necessarily have spoilers to specific adventures, since otherwise it'll be really difficult to give DMs conversion notes. You have been warned.

121: The Styes, by Richard Pett (9th level)
The Styes could be placed as a district of the following cities: Stormhome (in Aundair), Regalport (in the Lhazaar Principalities), Newthrone (in Q'barra), Trolanport (in Zilargo), or Stormreach (in Xen'drik). My suggestion would be Regalport - the strong maritime tradition of the Lhazaar Principalities, combined with the more chaotic governance could easily lead to an urban blight like the Styes springing up. In this interpretation, Hopene'er Asylum becomes a House Jorasco establishment. Master Refrum becomes a priest of Onatar (male human expert 5).
In Eberron, the aboleths are contemporaries of the Lords of Dust (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ebee/20050704a). Rather than a plot involving a Greyhawkian deity, the aboleth has discovered something like a unique aberrant dragonmark on the kraken. Believing this ties it to the Draconic Prophecy, Sgothgah is planning on using the creature once it fully matures to take its revenge on dragonkind. The other aboleths are its allies and assistants, guarding the kraken until it is fully mature. Mr. Dory became part of a Cult of the Dragon Below, created by Sgothgah to forward his designs. No other statistics need to change.

114: Torrents of Dread, by Greg A. Vaughan (6th level)
This nice little adventure is almost a perfect fit as written. In EBERRON, place it on Xen'drik instead of the Isle of Dread. The PCs are on board a ship going to an archeological dig for Morgrave University (thus, the reason the PCs are being sent to see the natives is because that's their job on this voyage). The villagers speak a debased form of Giant instead of Olman. The koprus are trying to summon a creature from Kythri to the material plane here, because the area is currently a Manifest Zone to that plane and the summoning is much easier. The process of summoning is causing the storm, which has effects as described in the adventure. For flavor, consider studding the bronze plate in area C22 with a khyber dragonshard. You might also consider making the Zombie Master a magewright and arming him with a wand as described in the "Scaling the Adventure" sidebar under "4th- to 5th-level PCs".
