Look to the bottom of this page:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-and-home/wireless-driver-for-compaq-presario-v6000-windows-XP/td-p/253607

Look for USB Vendor ID 03F0 and Product ID 171D or similar.

Looks to be a bluetooth/wireless device using USB. Both bluetooth and 
wireless are radio signals. Bluetooth uses  the 2400-2480 MHz band, 
as does wireless 802.11a and b.
