Hi:

You can probably indeed find anything on google if you know how to look, and I am going to teach you for future reference when it pertains to finding hardware drivers for your PC.

Let's do the Network Controller because HP can put more than one model wireless card in your notebook.

Googling Network Controller would be fruitless because every wireless card that is missing a driver is called a network controller by windows.

Please do the following and I will post the link to the wireless card driver you need, or you can google the hardware ID yourself and DL and install the driver you need from the 6470b support and driver page.

Go to the device manager and click on the Network Controller needing drivers.

Then click on the Details tab at the top of the network controller window.

Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.

Drop down on that and select the second item on the list (Hardware ID's).

Post the top string of characters that begin with PCI\VEN.

The other devices, I don't need the hardware ID's for because I already know what they are but you can do the same steps for them, google the ID and then find the applicable driver.

Hi, @JIM_B_bEAN :

This should be the driver you need for that ID:
