    Can't you right click on the items and choose to update driver? Or does it not find anything.

    It is part of the NVIDIA nForce chipset driver. If you are running vista then its available on the link posted by Adaptive above. If you are installing XP, get the VID & PID from device manager device details, and look for the correct nForce package which is available on the Nvidia website.

    I don't see the NVIDIA nForce Chipset Driver and Network Controller package for your particular notebook, but the same package for other GeForce 6150 chipset notebooks such as the Pavillion dv6000z should work. Give that a try.
