Updated Win XP to 7: network adapter driver issue

I updated Windows XP on my old laptop to Windows 7. After installing I tried to open internet connection but Win 7 says that it cannot find network adapter because of a missing driver. I tried to find network adapter from device manager but could not find one. My network connection was working fine on Win XP. What has happened, how to update my network adapter driver for Windows 7?

Edit after comments:

I found from Fujitsu's site, that my computer is not supported by Windows 7. So be it.

Tell us your laptop's (full) name/model number/type OR your PC specs (if you know them). If not, use "Everest" utility to check what kind of network adapter you have. – Apache – 2010-06-12T18:40:48.590

Do you, by any chance, have a backup or copy of your hard drive before you upgraded to Win7? – studiohack – 2010-06-13T01:55:43.220

Fujitsu Siemes Amilo D-8820. I have backup for my personal folders, but not for everything in my harddrive. – jiri – 2010-06-13T08:16:56.830

I found this: http://www.driversfix.com/Fujitsu_Siemens_Amilo_D_8820_drivers/dev3403.html Will that modem driver fix this problem?

– jiri – 2010-06-13T08:21:12.350

No Jiri, keep away from such sites. Those are "promoted" or "SEOed" links in Google, only searching for such people. Do NOT try them. – Apache – 2010-06-13T10:15:43.310

Also, I cannot find any information about the chipset (and there is no wireless in it I guess). Please install Everest and check what kind of lan adapter you've got, post here the name/screenshot about the info and I'll search a driver for you. – Apache – 2010-06-13T10:16:38.160

By the way, checking your specs... Win7 will run quite slow. Maybe if you upgraded to 2gb ram. But also, the Radeon9000 will make the display driver quite problematic. – Apache – 2010-06-13T10:20:13.907

Thaks so much for your help! I installed Everest. PCI device is: SiS 900 Fast Ethernet Adapter (PHY: ICS 1893(A)). Windows Network under Network does not say anything. – jiri – 2010-06-13T16:21:30.437
