exclamation mark next to PCI Device in Device Manager

Hey,
 
i just formatted my Dell Inspiron 6000.  I installed all the drivers, starting with the chipset, then the video, then audio, and then everything else.  I went into device manager just ta see if everything was working ok.  There was a PCI Device with an exclamation mark next to it.  I was just wondering where do i get this PCI Device driver?  What is it?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Your pci device might be a modem or other device. Did you get a cd from Dell containing device drivers.

    I would see if there is any device that is not working on your laptop. Chances are these are the drivers you need to install

    so it was my touchpad driver that fixed the exclamation mark next to PCI device.  Sooooo weird.  what does touchpad have ta do with PCI device.  Another weird thing was, after installing touchpad driver, my SD card reader started working, didn't work before.  Oh well, everything is fine now.  Thanks!

    yi_c_chen, what is the name of the driver and where I can get it?
    I had installed Alps GlidePoint/StickPointer driver (under Input Device category) but I still have the exclamation mark.
    thanks a lot.
