Where to find 1394 net adapter driver?

Question

Hello, I'd like to know if 1394 net adapter driver comes with re-installation of Windows XP Home SP2?  Or is it something that has to be downloaded and installed seperately?  I looked at the Downloads and Drivers page for my laptop model Inspiron 640M.  But 1394 net adapter driver is not listed there.  Or could it possibly come with other drivers such as the modem driver Conexant V.92, or perhpas with Broadcom, Intel Wireless?  Thanks.
