Lenovo Wireless connection issues

[ironslave]

oh my, you guys arent going to believe this... I burned 7048 to a dvd disk, went out and bought an external CD drive, did a clean install of 7048 on my laptop... and NOTHING. Still doesn't detect the wireless.... This is awful...

... are there wireless driver packs I could download or anything and transfer them over to my lenovo? :'(

Update

okay, i did the troubleshooting, and it says

"PCI serial port is not installed. install the latest driver for this device."

.... how do I do this??

Thank you for making this, Barman58....

To give an update, the following are shown as problems:

- PCI Serial Port doesnt have a driver
- PCI Communications Controller doesnt have a driver
- unknown device doesnt have a driver (the location for this is on Microsoft ACPI- Compilant Emedded Controller)

You will find all your drivers here - look our for the Vista drivers, they will work.

Solved:
The drivers on Lenovo's site worked, but they were not obvious. Thanks to focher for pointing them out.

Symptoms:
Upon unpacking my new Lenovo X200 tablet (well, my daughter's new Lenovo X200 tablet) I copied the hard drive contents to an external drive and then loaded the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Build 7100. I formatted the primary partition and installed Win7 there.

After installation some devices were not recognzed. I attached to my network via an Ethernet cable and was able to install some of the drivers by right-clicking and having Win7 search for them on the internet. However it was not able to find the drivers for three devices.

• PCI Serial Port
• PCI Simple Communications Controller
• Network Controller

Resolution:
These problems were fixed by these drivers:

PCI Serial Port

I hope that this helps.
