Motherboard Drivers?

[unfoldingpapaya]

Hey everybody, I apologize in advance if the question following has an obvious fix, I'm somewhat new to the PC community, and this problem has me stumped. I recently reformatted my hard drive due to a Trojan that I just couldn't remove. All went well with the fresh install of Windows XP, until it was time to connect to the internet. Upon closer inspection, I found that my computer didn't recognize that the Ethernet cable was plugged in due to a lack of drivers for my mother board. I know it's a rookie mistake to reformat without having the proper drivers ready to go, but the computer was built by a friend and I was never in possession of the motherboards cds. Can anyone help me find the drivers online? I'm not really sure where to look, and google hasn't been particularly helpful. Belarc Adviser says that the Motherboard is an ASUSTek Computer INC. NAGAMI2L 2.00, Serial Number: MS1C66S15000093, Bus Clock: 199 megahertz, Bios: Pheonix Technologies LTD 3.11 09/19/2006. Again, I apologize for the rookie mistake, and please let me know if you need more information. Thanks

That's an OEM motherboard is it not? I doubt you can find drivers online. Or maybe you can but might take a long time

Yes, if this PC was built by a friend, it was done with parts scrounged from what looks like an HP. Do you know, or can you find out, what brand of PC the motherboard came from in the first place for sure?

Yes at the moment I'm waiting for a reply from the friend about where the motherboard came from, so if I here back from him I will post the info.
