HP Pavillion G4 series Windows 7 Missing Network Driver

[torisgotthis]

Hello, I've recently aquired a laptop from my Grandfather who passed away, and since I've gotten it it hasn't been able to connect to the internet. So I've gone through all of the trouble shooting stuff and have done quite a bit of research and here is all of the information I've been able to gather.

I'm missing my ethernet controller, Network controller, and PCI device  I've received an error message saything that my Network adapter cannot be detected and that I'll have to reinstall the driver.

The driver is completely non-existant.

I've attempted to download a couple Driver Assist set ups but to no avail. Apparently they require the internet to be able to work. Bummer.

I'd like to say I'm technologically savvy but I am completely and utterly uneducated in that area. So I need all of the help I can get. Thank you for your time.

Thank you so much. It all worked. I ended up finding the first drive on my own, but didn't know which ones to download to fix the others. Thank you for the link and your time.
