Can't find Network Controller driver

I just ran a fresh Windows 7 installation on my T420i, and I was able find all the missing drivers except for this one:
Network Controller: pci\ven_8086&dev_0084&CC_0280
I have tried to install all suggested drivers for Wireless WAN from pci ven_8086&dev_0084&CC_0280 from
Lenovo's support page, but none of them helped.
Where can I find the needed driver?

googling
ven_8086&dev_0084
shows that it is
Intel Wireless Link WiFi 1000
you should find its driver in optional windows updates

Could you please post a link? I downloaded all available Windows updates, but it didn't help.

Google "intel wireless wifi link 1000 bgn driver", first link you get is pretty good. Second link down is dead on.

Try this one:
Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software and Drivers for Windows 7*
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downlo ... Windows-7-
you will find 4 downloads, read the bottom part of the page titled "Which file should you download?"
