    Try uninstalling in Device Manager and rebooting. If Windows still cannot
    find a driver:

    If this is a Foxconn motherboard, you may be able to get drivers here:

    http://www.foxconnchannel.com/jsp/download.htm

    If not you can try hp.com.

    There are other things you can try, but if none of the above work, I would
    buy and install an adapter card.
