I don't know if anyone knows the answer to this, but perhaps someone here has used it?

Currently, i don't have a network set up at home (my ISP is still AOL :'( and they still won't allow it unless you get there wireless package), and i have a laptop with vista which doesn't run any of my games very well
I am going to install XP gamers edition, since i don't have an XP CD to nlite myself, but everywhere i look, people say that the LAN drivers have been removed, and you can't create a network on it

Is there anyway, before or after the installation to insert these drivers so taht when my dad finally gets around to switching our ISP i can put my laptop into our LAN?
