order of Virtnet Apapter

[Digimon]

Hi,

I am using the Virtnet Apapter (http://www.ntkernel.com/w&p.php?id=32)

my Problem is that the Adapter doesn't appear in the Registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards

so it's not possible to adjust the order of my network components in the way I need them.

The Virtnet Card should be before my TV Tuner Card and after my standard LAN card.

normaly I can handle this by renaming the folder Icon in the REG but now teh Virt-card is always the last card in system so I have to disable nearly all cards to get VIRTNET to second position.

when using the MS-Loopback Adapter I can change the order, but MS-Loopback doesn't have the other thinsg I need from a network card;-(

maybe ist simble by some add ons to install INF file:
