    I have not been able to find Win 7 drivers for my X200's WLAN adapter. I did try Lenovo's site.

    It's the 11b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Exress Adapter III. See pic attached.

    Has anyone been able to find these drivers?

    W7 should already have working wifi out of the box with the intel adapters. Windows update will pull the driver for you to update with.

    edit: oh wait guess you don't have the intel one.

    Ok. Thanks.

    The other thing I am curious about is the exclamation mark in the device manager next to "Other devices - PCI Simple Communications Controller"

    It looks like Win 7 has not been able to identify this device. See attached.

    Did you get the right drivers? I had the same exact problem ... it's the IBM ones ... not the Intel ones.

    Sounds like you figured it out though.

    No I didn't get the drivers. I just left whatever driver Win 7 installed. There's no Win 7 driver on Lenovo's site for the Mini PCI Express Adapter III.
