Ethernet Controller Driver Code 28 Windows 7 Free Download

Apr 8, 2018 - Windows 10 is the latest build of Windows by Microsoft. It has adopted. The same problem exists with Ethernet Drivers. Some users have.

After you install an operating system you must then install drivers for all your hardware. This includes drivers for your ethernet adapter.

Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from:
1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).
Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the drivers.
To find out what hardware is in your computer:
1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows.

  1. This article takes the device manager code error 28: the drivers for this. May also happen to Ethernet Controller or Bluetooth on Windows 7/8/10 either 32 or 64 bit. To fix the code 28 error in the quickest way, you are advised to download.
  2. Ethernet controller driver for windows 7 free download - Intel Network Adapter Driver for Windows 7, Broadcom 440x 10-100 Integrated Controller Ethernet Driver Ver. 4.23.0.0.zip, nVidia Graphics.

When a known USB 2.0 device is plugged in and detected, it doesn't install the driver correctly but shows a Code 28 error and lists the device under 'Other Devices' in Device Manager. When view properties of this device , it shows the following status;

When updating the driver manually and selecting the appropriate driver Windows doesn't believes it's the correct driver, but you can force the installation and it works!

The other condition the driver will auto-install is when the same USB device is plugged into a USB 3.0 port. Power related issues are not also causing this as I have tried vi a Docking station, USB hub. etc..

Devices tried;

  • Jabra Headset
  • USB-Mass Storage Device (flash disk and ext HD)
  • MS Wireless Keyboard & Mouse
  • USB Ethernet controller (USB-MAC controller)

This is on a laptop part of a Domain with Windows 7 Ent 7601, I am logged in as a local administrator. There isn't any Group Policies blocking not signed driver or whitelisted devices on the domain.

Any suggestions please feel free

I was also having this problem, and found the solution here:

The gist of it is that usb.inf (which should normally be in C:Windowsinf) was missing. Copying it from another computer fixed it.

You can try 2 things

  • Go to device manager and uninstall all of the USB Root Hubs. Reboot and they will reinstall automatically. After that, try and in plug something in it should be ok. If that doesnt work;

  • Go To Hkey_Local_Machinesystemsetup Look for 2 keys and set them to 0, then restart

    1. SystemSetupInProgress -0
    2. FactoryPreInstallinProgres -0

I solved the problem as below:

  1. replace the usb.inf and other relevant file in (C:Windowsinf)
    [ you could download the file from the link herehttp://www.filedropper.com/usbinf]

  2. restart your pc (please remember to Uninstall your device under Device Managerbefore restarting it)

  3. plug in your device (let's the device setup completed), under Device Manager choose Update Driver Software...

  4. you should be able to see your device in File Explorer
