So I recently inherited an older laptop and I decided to refurbish it in a way so I reinstalled Windows and cleared the hard drive etc.
Afterwards I found that the PC didn't install an Ethernet Controller, Network Controller, and PCI Device. Naturally I am unable to connect to the internet with my notebook and so I cannot use the HP helper to find the drivers I need. I located the hardware ids for these devices:
ethernet adapter:
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&SUBSYS_3577103C&REV_05
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&SUBSYS_3577103C
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&CC_020000
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&CC_0200
network adapter:
PCI\VEN_1814&DEV_5390&SUBSYS_1636103C&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1814&DEV_5390&SUBSYS_1636103C
PCI\VEN_1814&DEV_5390&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_1814&DEV_5390&CC_0280
pci device:
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_5209&SUBSYS_3577103C&REV_01
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_5209&SUBSYS_3577103C
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_5209&CC_FF0000
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_5209&CC_FF00
The Operating System is Windows 7 PRO 32-bit. I do hope somebody can send me in the right direction. Trying to find the correct drivers gets a bit confusing when you're on as little sleep as I am right now.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, @SimpleMinded101 :
The links referenced in that post don't work anymore due to HP revamping the support pages.
Here are the direct links to the HP FTP site for drivers you requested...
ethernet adapter
This package provides the Realtek Local Area Network (LAN) Driver that enables the Realtek Network Interface Card (NIC) Chip in supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system.

network adapter
This package contains the driver installation package for the Ralink Wireless LAN Controllers in supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56501-57000/sp56942.exe
pci device
This package contains the driver that enables the Realtek Card Reader in supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. The card reader enables users to read from or write to supported removable storage cards, which are typically used in digital cameras, digital music players, and cellular phones.

Thank you so much that is a huge help.
I thought I'd ask this just in case, if I were to install Windows 8 onto my laptop. (A friend had a disk and key that hadn't been used.) Would those drivers still work or would I need to find something else?
Also I realize now that my PC is Home-Premium and Not Pro, I misread something somewhere along the line. So to quickly shorten my questions:
Do those Drivers work with Windows 7 Home Premium? Also Do they work with Windows 8 provided I go that route?

You're very welcome.
Yes, the drivers I posted will work with any version of W7.
No the drivers will probably not work with W8.
There are W8 32 and 64 bit drivers on the support page.
