Nic never working - Realtek 8139

I have a great problem on XP Pro Sp2.
Notice: Hardware P4 dual and nic realtek 8139 fully working. Tested with any
kind of Linux. No virus. No troyan. Tried sfc/scannnow and reinstallation
over current XP starting from CD.

I've tried everything, even started with UBCD4Win (avoiding the lock on
hardware profiles in the registry) and deleting every reg entry I can found
bounded to the nic, and every drivers present in the HD, inf, and even from
.cab archive cache.

I have disabled the nic, installed a new one, and I got the same problem
again.

I've serched hidden nic, but I don't see any other nic (

Tested various drivers, from the original bounded with the nic (and is for
XP) to new realtek update of this year.
NOTHING!

Everytime I reinstall the nic/driver, everything seems OK, but finally XP
says (sorry for traslation because my system is Italian located) that it
can find a file. I don't know what file because it says nothing about this
file. Every kind of driver i tested say that.

Do you have any procedure to check every single step XP do to reach that bad
result? A system to debug the problem step, by step finding why Xp end to
that result?

Realek 8139 network adapters (NIC) can also be "customised" by your
card's maker. Realtek sells their controller chips to various other
hardware makers. Hove you located the hardware maker for your card
and check for their drivers?

Yes, the newest driver is just that of the maker, the Asrock. But also any
other NIC with other brand name, but with 8139 doesn't work. The problem is
quite for sure a problem occurred in XP.
