    Got my Lenovo X220 today, tried to install windows 7 ultimate on it. But stuck at finding drivers for "network controller", can't find answers from lenovo's download page. Now my wifi is not working. Can anybody give some advise here?

    Thanks!

    Installing the X220 Ricoh driver from the Lenovo website didn't work on my "Base System Device" so I googled "VEN 1180 DEV E822" and successfully used the (Sony Vaio) drivers from this page:

    pci/ven_1180/dev_e822 - Ricoh Co Ltd

    Lenovo T420, "Base System Device" here as well, neither Lenovo nor Asus drivers worked but the bare drivers w/o any setup from the Sony page did.
