Re: adding and tracing RealTek RTL8139

We don't have the hardware or what you've done to the software in front of
us. The debug logs that you have sent so far indicate that you have had
things configured wrong and we've pointed you in the right direction for
that. You seem to think that we can read minds or know things about the
state of your system that you haven't told us.

You haven't sent any logs that I see since KITL was disabled and VBridge
removed which appeared to me to have the RT8139 driver in them (we're going
to want DEBUG build logs, too, I'd think, rather than RETAIL).

In my experience, the VIA BSPs are very good and work perfectly 99% of the
time. If you're building with the PB environment, just disable the kernel
debugger and KITL, rebuild, for DEBUG, and capture the debug output.
