Hi:

 

HP did not support your notebook for WXP, only Vista.

 

According to the specs it has an AMD processor, which means it has the Nvidia chipset and the chipset driver installs the ethernet driver amongst other devices.

 

HP retired support for the model series several years ago.

 

The reputable 3rd party website may have some XP drivers that may work.

 

The XP drivers were for the older dv9000 > dv9400 models.

 

Here's the link to the driver that should install the ethernet controller.

You're very welcome.

 

The only other suggestion I can offer would be to take a look at this old XP downgrade guide that was written many years ago.

 

General XP Downgrade Guide for HP Laptops - HP Support Community - 83267

 

The problem is...many of the links may no longer work.
