Is there a reason you need to? Did you do a fresh install of the OS? Usually they are directly on the manufacturer's website.

Strange that the new laptop does not have the drivers pre-installed because almost all do. Have you taken a look at the manual that came with the laptop for any Drivers section?

I wonder if the WiFi unit is turned off, by default, and thus Windows isn't seeing the "off" device, as opposed to "can't see installed device".

In the manual, perhaps there's a discussion of the Turn WiFi On combo-keystroke, or some switch.

(This is certainly a queer one - like the OP may have discovered, Google's first responses to drivers for this point to Pay-For sites, not a Sony Support site. Here's the Sony Support page from the USA, but to locate a Vaio Fit 15 or 15E (whichever one this is), there still isn't a "W" model for this very specific product. "W" for wireless. Hmmm)

If this thread were re-opened on the Win7 or maybe Wireless sub-forums (instead of here on WinXP), I wonder if anyone would have a better solution?
