Sony Ericsson Device 117 USB Ethernet Emulation (WDM) Driver

The Sony Ericsson Device 117 USB Ethernet Emulation (WDM) driver helps Windows recognize the USB networking interface exposed by a compatible Sony Ericsson device. You may need it when setting up a supported USB network connection or when Device Manager lists the interface as an unknown device or shows a driver error.

Key Features

• USB network interface recognition: Allows Windows to identify the device’s Ethernet emulation interface and associate it with the appropriate network driver.
• Communication support: Provides the driver layer needed for USB networking functions supported by the connected Sony Ericsson device and its software.
• Network adapter integration: Enables Windows to manage the recognized interface through its networking tools.
• Legacy Windows coverage: Intended for compatible configurations running Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, or XP. Check the individual package for its supported Windows edition and 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.

How to Install Sony Ericsson Device 117 USB Ethernet Emulation (WDM) Driver

1. Check the device and operating system. Open Device Manager and locate the Sony Ericsson interface, which may appear under Network adapters or Other devices. Compare its hardware IDs with the driver package’s supported IDs.
2. Choose a matching package. Before starting your Sony Ericsson Device 117 USB Ethernet Emulation (WDM) driver download for Windows, confirm OS and architecture compatibility. For Windows 10/11 systems, note that Windows 11 is not listed as supported here; do not assume a Windows 10 package will work.
3. Download and extract the files. Use a trusted source, whether choosing a free download or obtaining a package through official support resources. Scan the downloaded archive before opening it.
4. Install the driver. Run the included installer if available. Otherwise, right-click the interface in Device Manager, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder. Follow the prompts without bypassing security warnings.
5. Reconnect and verify. Restart Windows if prompted, reconnect the device, and enable its supported USB networking mode if required. Confirm that Device Manager shows the interface without a warning icon, then test the connection.

Keep a copy of a working driver before you update. Choose the latest version that explicitly supports your hardware and Windows configuration, rather than assuming a newer package is automatically better. If an update causes connection problems, use Device Manager’s rollback option when available.
