Vista - PCI Simple Communications Controller

I just installed Vista RC1 and after windows loads I get a message that it
needs to instal a driver for the subject device. How do I find out what it
is looking for? It may be an ethernet cord or a modem, neither of which are
being used on this machine. I switched to a wireless network and now have
DSL. I'm tempted to say "don't ask me again" and just forget about it, but I
don't want to short-circuit an attempt by Vista to rectify a problem that
really exists.

Any advice?

That makes sense. I no longer have the modem installed so I don't need an
updated driver. I guess I should just ask Vista to stop the nag??
