Missing Ethernet Controller, Network Controller and PCI Device

[SteveR-HP]

I am missing (not currently installed) the Ethernet Controller, Network Controller and PCI Device.  Where do I find the correct drivers?

Hi:

I would need to know the full model number or product number of your notebook in order to provide the drivers you need.

The product number can be found on the same sticker as the serial number.

The only info I have is:  Compaq Presario CQ57, model LW437UA#ABA, which i believe is the 200 series notebook.

Here is the info from the system:

Also, I am not able to connect to the ineternet on the Compaq, so I am using a different computer for this help support.
