Hi guys!
I just bought an HP Pavilion dv6830us Notebook PC with Windows Vista SP1 and I would like to downgrade to XP. At first I was having some trouble trying to install XP on this laptop because of the SATA Drive, I finally got it installed.
My only problem is the wireless driver. I installed all the XP drivers that I found in more than 10 websites and my PC seems to be working ok but I can't get the wireless to work, I tried more than 3 different wireless drivers and none of them work. The wireless button is ON so this can't be the problem.
Here are a list of website where I got the drivers from (including the wireless drivers that didn't work):

Something interesting that I noticed... when I open Device Manager in my laptop I see a question mark for Network Controller and Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus.
Under "Network adapters" I see the following:
1394 Net adapter (I think this is the wireless card that is integrated with my laptop).
Realtek (this is the hardware for the ethernet cable).
I don't see any question mark for 1394 Net adapter and Realtek.
Can somebody please help me with this?
