[ros-dev] Loading failure of rtl8139.sys driver.

[Hartmut Birr]

Hi,

the rtl8139 driver is a pci based driver. This driver needs more registry
keys. A half year ago, I've used this registry entries for a realtec 8139
based nic:

It doesn't work with the current cvs. The start and type values are possible
also incorrect. The value "9" from the key "SlotNumber" is a hex value which
must point to the correct pci slot. The best way to get all this
informations is a NT 4.0 or W2K installation.

An other problem is the loading of the real ne2000.sys driver. This is not a
boot load driver but ros trys to load it like a boot load driver (after
pci.sys). Ros trys it a second time after loading ndis. The start value of
ne2000 is 4, this means do not load. if I change this value to 3, driver is
loaded at the second point successful, but it doesn't find a nic.
