Yes, we did install the xp driver for it.. but still doesn't show
up...

Also checking the Device Manager under Network adapter, I didnt see
any wireless adapters on there, just 3com fast ethernet controller.
But under "other devices" it does show "network controller" with a
yellow question mark.. does it have something to do with this?

I tried using my brother's USB NETGEAR wireless adapter, and it works
fine. SO theres obviously something wrong with my internal wireless
card

Opened up the laptop, and I believe the wireless card is from
broadcom.
