Edge 14 - drivers WiFi on a fresh Win7 install

Hi-

I recently formatted my hard drive and put my own copy of Win7 on my Thinkpad Edge 14 (0579-A62). There is no recovery partition more. After being surprised that Win7 was no driver integrated for display or WiFi, I plugged in an ethernet cable and went on the Lenovo support site. I tried all the networking: WLAN drivers, but none of them leave work wireless. I installed the Intel PROSet software and it just says: "the driver is not installed" so I guess that it has nothing to do with the WiFi key on the keyboard. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help RedEd12, but I had to go a different route to resolve this.

I went to Device Manager, went to properties for the uneven device and looked at the Vendor ID and the device ID and the google channel.  I discovered that the wireless network adapter is a Realtek RTL8188CE which is NOT one of the factors listed on networking: WLAN section on the page of the driver of Lenovo.

I got the drivers here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdI... (Do a search for "8188CE").

Shame on you, Lenovo. I lost $13 on a USB Wireless Adapter earlier today before I understood that.
