Everything looks ok for me. I forgot to mention that Reactos is booted 
from real hardware + freeldr diskette.
The native ne2000.sys driver from Reactos has also the same problem . 
this can be simulted as follows :

- Build a ntoskrnl.exe with NDEBUG commented in ldr.c
- Disable Amd Pcnet entry and enable Ne2000 entry in hivesys.inf file
- Make registry
- Boot Reactos and check the debug traces for loading of ne2000.sys driver
