How can I uninstall this driver

Hello!
I have an Realtek network card(8139dl)
I have tried deleting it from Device Manager but it reinstalls
itself on reboot, I want deleting it and install another driver(below
the current driver)

Thanks in advance

In device mgr,select the card,click "properties" and "update driver".
Then use the driver you want to install.

Perhaps I am not understanding you.
You are installing a network card and you want to use a certain driver.
Put the driver in a file that you can remember the location.
Shutdown your computer and remove the card.Reboot and make sure that it
is gone from the device mgr.list.Shutdown and install the card,then
reboot.When "add new hardware"comes up choose"Have disk"and point to
where the driver is that you want to use.
You should not have to go through all that if you just "update" the
driver with the old one.Try it and see if it works.Post back with results.

I currently have a very similar problem. My (D-Link) nework-card
device status is at a "code 10" state, with a Update driver
button available to play with. Updating the driver (from the
"Windows finds best driver it can" or from the support CD) just
lands me back in the same Code 10 state.

Deleting the device, to try someother approach, wants a reboot to
complete. Upon reboot Windows automagically disovers the
network-card and *without allowing userinteraction or
interruption* reinstalls the previous drivers landing me back at
Code 10 state. :-(

Is there some way to turn off "new hardware detection" at bootup?

Don't let windows find best driver,"let me choose"or"have disk"

just lands me back in the same Code 10 state.

First, and maybe simplest, do you have an entry for your Network
Interface Card (NIC) in the Add/Remove Programs applet? If it
deletes all the files properly, obviously it cant't get
autoreinstalled.

If you don't have the ability to uninstall from the Add/Remove
Programs or if that doesn't help, then after you delete the
NIC-device in the Device Manager you would have to find and
delete the files in the windows folder-hirearchy that are
installed as your NIC's driver and still present there before
rebooting.

These versions have been tried (e.g. to load the drivers from the
support CD).

Having selected the protocol of another device to be the default
protocol (for connecting to Internet) in the Network Control
Panel applet and unistalling my D-Link NIC's software/driver
bundle, the NIC is now at Code 2 instead of Code 10 in the Device
Manager[1]. I deleted the windows-folder and the registry of all
things related to the NIC (to the best of my ability), but upon
reinstalling the same Code 2 & 10 states come back so the problem
ran deeper then my purging somehow. I feel there is an OS
reinstall closing in on me ... unless someone has some
suggestions for me to try?

The install-instruction for the DWL-G520 NIC said to install
drivers/software bundle first, before installing the card .. so
i've been wondering if it would be necessary to take the card out
if reinstalling a Windows OS. Guess i'm about to find out. :-/

[1] the device status errorcodes are explained in msKB #125174
<http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=125174>

Since many ethernet NIC's come as part of the motherboard and
these can't have the software installed before /adding/ the NIC,
i was puzzled by the install-instructions stated above. But for
whatever reason, when i did uninstall the driver/software bundle
- rip out the card - and then purge my system and registry from
uninstall leftovers - and then finally reinstall again according
to the instructions in the manual with the software first without
the NIC-hardware present, it was installed in a way that make the
card work correctly again.

Sorry for the rambling. I'm done now.
