Hi Filip ,

I have updated the Relatek8138 Nic entry of the hivesys.inf file
according your indications (I hope !)

The RTL8139.SYS driver does not load as indicated in the attached debug
traces .
The hivesys entry is attached also with the nic driver.

May be the hivesys entry is not correct . I would be pleased if you can 
have a look (or somebody else) ?

Best regards
Gerard
