Hi:

If the wifi adapter needs a driver, there will be a device listed in the device manager under an Other Devices category, labeled as a Network Controller.

That is the name Windows gives the wireless adapter when the driver isn't installed.

Please post the hardware ID for the Network Controller device, and then I will post the link to the wifi driver you need.

Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID...

That is not good.

The missing network controller device means that the wifi card is either disabled in the BIOS (go into the BIOS and see if the wifi is enabled), or you need to install the HP connection manager software, restart the PC, use the software to activate the wifi card, and then install the wifi driver, or the wifi card is dead, and needs to be replaced.

This package provides the HP Connection Manager for supported notebook models running a supported operating system.

Here are the drivers for the ethernet controller and PCI device...
