   It's common for manufacturers to install one of several different   
   wifi adapters in laptops.  Unfortunately, as you have found, they   
   don't always provide the correct drivers on the CD or website.   
   To find out exactly which wifi chipset you have, right-click it   
   in Device Manager and choose Properties.  Under the Details tab,   
   select Hardware IDs in the dropdown list and write down the   
   PCI\VEN information.  You need the two 4-digit codes, one after   
   VEN_ and one after DEV_   
   Then go here and plug one of the numbers into the relevant field   
   and search.  Try the DEV_ number in the Device search field   
   first:   
   http://www.pcidatabase.com/   
   If it lists more then one Vendor, then use the VEN_ number to   
   find which one of the results is relevant.   
   Once you know which device you actually have, and who made it,   
   you can go to the WiFi device manufacturers website and try and   
   find the correct driver there.   
   Alternatively, you might find the driver on the fujitsu site,   
   but as a download for another, but similar spec, laptop.   
   Good hunting.
