Missing "PCI to CARDBUS Bridge" drivers

Hello,
Where do I find drivers for "PCI HOST Bridge" and "PCI to CARDBUS Bridge."?
My system (correctly!) detects these on my Presario 2110CA notebook, and the Add
Hardware wizard pops up. It doesn't find the drivers online, on the hard drive
of the notebook, or as part of the CD that came with the dLink DWLG650 WiFi card
that I recently (purchased).
My OS is Windows XP version 5.1.2600, with Service Pack 2. The processor is
"mobile AMD Athlon(tm) XP2000+" version x86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 1 current
speed 1660 MHz cache size 256 KB". Memory is 512 MB.
I don't believe the WiFi card caused these problems, at least not directly. It
worked when I first installed it, but had some problems. DLink support suggested
that I update the BIOS on my notebook to the most recent version. I updated the
BIOS to KA M1.60 from the hp support website.
Now after the BIOS update everything else continues to work on the notebook,
except for these two "bridges" that now show up with yellow question marks under
"Other devices" in the Device Manager. (The "PCI to Cardbus Bridge" item also
has an exclamation mark, and the device status say "This device is not
configured correctly. (Code 1) To reinstall the drivers for this device, click
Reinstall Driv"). With those two Bridges not installed, I cannot install the
WiFi card, and have as a result lost all wireless connectivity.
I have been in contact with HP technicians via real-time chat and via email.
They suggested many things all of which I did, and in some cases repeated
several times.
- Uninstall and reinstall the dlink drivers, both in normal mode and safe mode
- Run and install the integrated chip driver set from
ftp://www.uli.com.tw/driver/Integrated210.zip.
- Install the HP wireless drivers downloaded from the hp website.
I found the experience of dealing with the HP technicians to be very frustrating
and disappointing. This is mainly because of the inability to establish a
continuing relationship with any single individual who knows has been tried so
far. The email technicians seem to latch on to one or two words of the
customer's message and generate a scripted response within two hours without
fully considering all the information provided. Sorry for venting.
Any help is appreciated.
