Compaq Presario XL381 Wifi
A lot of newer wireless adapters are simply plug and play, in that you just plug it in the USB port and the OS will handle everything from there. You are better off buying a new wireless USB adapter and install it, than it is to replace any type of OEM adapter you might have. The WiFi in your laptop, if so equipped, uses an adapter in order to talk to your wireless router or modem. Finding a WiFi adapter is easy because the only thing you have to know is what OS you are running on your Compaq laptop.
