how to uninstall default driver and install my own?

I have to develop PCI card driver for our custom wireless card. My
role is to develop PCI device driver. As I do not have hardware
currently, I'm thinking of testing my driver using existing network
card - RTL8139(A) fast Ethernet.

To do above, I uninstall driver provided by Microsoft. And When I
restart the PC for installing my driver, default driver is installed
again already. I went to registry also and made changes, but without
any advantages.

Could somebody pour some light on how to uninstall default driver and
install my own?

TIA,
Sanjeev

You cannot. Test the driver on the required hardware. You can only code the
driver without the hardware, but not test it.
Using any kinds of "testbeds" is stupid, since they will be as complex as
the main driver.

Hopefully LH will contain support for device simulation.

Just do an update driver and force the system to use your unsigned driver.

And tell the corresponding bitch box that you want to continue.

More looks like this is the VMWare's scope, not the OS's one.

Actually I think the simulation framework is going to be part of LDK Peter
Shier did a presentation on this subject at DDC. Unfortunately it overlapped
with some other presentations that I needed to attend.
