How the nic driver ( realtek 8139 for example )  can be installed now ?
Upto now , it was installed manually by adding "rtl8139 entries"  in the 
registry ( hiveinst.inf file) as per wiki driver page.

If your netcard is a PCI one, with VendorID 1022 and DeviceID 2000, you have
nothing to do. It will be installed automatically.
Otherwise, you have to provide the .inf and the .sys files in ReactOS/inf
directory, and the netcard should be installed at next reboot.
If it still doesn't work, you have to install it manually as per Wiki driver
page. Don't forget to change the last 0000 subkey to something like
1&xxxxxxxx&xx

Hi!
Ok! I'll try to install the Via VT6102 again too. This will take some time to
work on.
Thanks,
