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.
