ok - I now tried the driver from acer which you pointed to - this has a higher 
"FileVersion": Acer's: 1.2.1.1  -   HP's: 1.2.0.56

here are the versions for the acer driver (which I now use):

<SNIP>
       Device instance: PCI-0000:02:02.0-8086:1043-8086:2522
        Device driver  : w70n51
        Driver Version : 1.2.1.1
        Description    : Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 7100 LAN Card Driver
        Adapter model  : PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter
</SNIP>

yep:

<SNIP>
FileVersion
1.2.1.1
...ProductName
Intel
 PRO/Wireless LAN Adapter
ProductVersion
1.0.0.0
</SNIP>

But after reloading the driverloader kernel module with this driver it still 
says:

<SNIP>
device eth1 entered promiscuous mode
driverloader: ndisSetInformation: GEN_CURRENT_PACKET_FILTER st=NOT_SUPPORTED 
W=0 N=4
</SNIP>
