Win 8 debugging via network

win8 got a new kd transport, kdnet.dll. Getting it to work is a fun exercise.

• developing drivers in vs2011 @sasha's blog with explanation how to turn off UAC and run VS elevated for initial installation.
• livekd didn't try yet
• network card problems for unsupported / buggy combination of network card and win8 kdnet. thread has interesting registry keys.
• manually setting up network debugging. There is also a //build lecture
