ATI's RADEON Xpress 200 chipset (ATI RX480M Northbridge and ATI SB400 Southbridge) AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 (1MB L2 cache, 2.0 GHz) CPU ATI's RADEON X700 video chip Broadcom's 802.11G wireless Broadcom 570x Gigabit Integrated Controller 10/100/1000 LAN I struck out on newer drivers for Broadcom. Older ones are here, if you feel real lucky: <http://download.cnet.com/Broadcom-570x-Gigabit-Integrated-Controller/3000-2112_4-70218.html> Sometimes the ethernet Lan "just works". (If you are real lucky and drivers are built in.) Have you considered a USB wireless device? If you can get it to/on Windows update, it might detect something it can use.
