Yes just put the drivers on a CD. I am unsure what you exactly need. It will either be under: Communications: Modem

or: Network: NIC

If you do not have wireless I would guess you want: Broadcom - Driver
Applies to:
4401 Integrated NIC

In order to install go to the Device Manager and click on Network adapters or it might be listed under Other Devices.

Device Manager = right click My Computer then click Manage then Device Manager.

Right click the device in question and then choose "Update Driver"

Tell the wizard that you have the CD and then point it to the CD.
