I would suggest you try searching the forum. Your question has been asked several times, and the answers are out there. You might note I have the exact same laptop as you; I found everything I needed by searching. Try looking for ndiswrapper. Ignore the fwcutter method; it doesn't work with our wireless adapters.

I'm pretty sure you'll need the XP driver. The driver for the HP DV6000's wireless will work.

Hex
If you entered your wep key in the router as hex (hexadecimal), then you need to put 0x in front of your wep key number in network manager (or whatever you use). Enter it like: 0x*********** (no space between 0x and the number.
If you entered your key in the router as ASCII, then don't put 0x in front of your number.
