Critical NDIS 6.20 regression and USB PnP BSOD on Intel H61 Chipset (i5-3330)

Component/s: NDIS, USB Stack, Base (Kernel)

Hardware Environment:

• Motherboard: Biostar H61MLV2 (Intel H61 Chipset)

• CPU: Intel Core i5-3330 (Ivy Bridge)

• RAM: 4GB (3.40GB usable)

• Storage: ADATA SSD 120GB

Summary of Issues: I have conducted extensive testing on ReactOS 0.4.15-release-1-gdbb43bb on bare metal. The system is stable in desktop mode but suffers from two critical regressions:

1. NDIS Layer Conflict: The system attempts to load NDIS 6.20 drivers for the Atheros AR8152/8158 controller instead of NDIS 5.1, resulting in a "Pipe is being closed" error and total network stack failure.

1. USB PnP Instability: Removing a USB storage device triggers a BSOD (STOP: 0x0000001E) in ntoskrnl.exe, suggesting a Use-After-Free or Null Pointer Reference during hot-unplug events.

1. Audio: Realtek ALC662 is detected but remains silent, likely due to MSI (Message Signaled Interrupts) mapping issues on the H61 bus.

Attached Report: I am attaching a detailed PDF with screenshots and forensic analysis of the errors.
