Default Unknown Device Identify

You do not need any kind of software to identify those elusive devices
behind the yellow exclamation marks.You can very easily do it yourself:
All you need is...Windows

Go to Device Manager and click on the Device you want to identify:

1 Properties>Details>Hardware ids Write down the 4 characters after:
VEN_(here is 10EC) and after DEV_(here is 0888)

2 Go to PCI Vendor and Device Lists
and enter the information there, then click on SEARCH (either one will do)

3 Click on Realtek Semiconductor

4 From the list select the DEV_ you had (0888)
