    Wireless Network.
    Just purchase this laptop from a colleague but came without any manual/disk have formatted it, but now I need to configure the wireless Network. My wireless network is HP Compaq Notebook Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Driver 9.52.0.0 Windows XP pro. I need instructions from start to finish, as I've never done this before. Thanks in advance,

    If I understand your question correctly, use Google and search on "Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit..." and click on the vendor's website for a download the wireless drivers (usually an .exe file) on another computer, save to your gig-stick.

    Install on your laptop. If you find a manual on the vendor's website, download this too for further information.

    The Broadcom card is for WIRED ethernet and not wireless.
