System Doesn't recognize on Board NIC

I have a Sony Vaio laptop that I recently re-partitioned the drive and loaded a fresh copy of Windows XP PRO.

 

Everything went fine until I connected the network cable to the integrated (on-board) NIC - the system does not show it as a device....

 

Went into device and it is not there under network adapters...

 

Also - the Ethernet Controller shows up but no drivers are installed - tried to find drivers on the web - no luck....

 

Any suggestions?
