I installed Windows 7 on a Lenovo T400 laptop. In the Device Manager, the only piece of unrecognized hardware is a "PCI Simple Communications Controller". Does anybody know what driver I need for this?

I also just realized I have the same problem on my T400 running Windows 7 x64, luckily I found a solution. Looks like those devices are related to the Intel Advanced Management Technology in the BIOS. The driver can be found on the IBM support website. Here is a link to a blog that has a bit of an explanation. And just for some additional info, here is the entire driver listing for the T400 | ||||

a "PCI Simple Communications Controller" is usually an analog 56k modem. | |||

Confirmed. The unknown "PCI Simple Communications Controller" ended up being the "Management Engine Interface" driver downloadable from the Lenovo site | |||
