Hello greetings

I have my workstation running on Windows 10, recently there were issues with the LAN port of my motherboard. it stopped working.
I had an ethernet PCI LAN card. I don't have a CD for the same.
I tried to install manually update the drivers(by auto searching online for drivers), but it showed - "windows was unable to install your ethernet controller".

The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

then i googled with the hardware IDs-
|PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8111&SUBSYS_811110EC&REV_10
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8111&SUBSYS_811110EC
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8111&CC_020000
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8111&CC_0200

some of the Drivers which I found were not compatible with windows 10.

Please help, this would help many like me. thankyou.

    I'd check the manufacturer mobo firmware is up to date and chipset has been installed. The chipset allows the operating system to find and use devices integrated into the mobo.

    Hi @mahesh cj

    A new LAN card would be a negligible expense, which I strongly suggest.

    Hi,

    Are the drivers not compatible with all windows 10 version? Have you tried to update the windows?

    If updating is not helpful, changing the LAN card might be the only solution.

    Thanks,
