I may not be in the right place, but I have one of these notebooks with
wireless lan and I have no idea where to find the driver for it. The Sony
web site was not any help. Anyone else have one of these that could possibly
lend a hand? Thanks.

Then call Sony's customer support and request a set of restore disks. It
will cost about 20.00 dollars or so and will be invaluable in the future to
you since it will come with the complete system setup and OS.

I think (not sure) it's mixed in with the shared utilities and
notebook utilities. However, as I read through the knowledge base
articles, it appears that Sony uses Wireless Zero Config which comes
with XP. You may already have the "driver". Try:
Control Panel -> Network
and see if you have some kind of wireless device icon shown.

Also, if you select "Knowledge base" from the menu on the left
side of the screen, and inscribe "wireless drivers", you'll
get some additional clues.
