I don't understand your hardware ID of Ethernet card as I can't find hardware ID. However under details I have the following if that is of use:

As a separate issue, I also have a yellow question mark against WD SES Device USB Device which is my WD My Book Essential external drive which I have transferred from my old XP. This again is showing a code 28 (no drivers). I am in support touch with WD regarding this though am awaiting a reply though their initial advice is that the drivers for this device are part of the OS.
