It looks as though this is equipped with a Broadcom WLAN card. Try going to this link for HP/Compaq put in the required information for product number then click on software/driver downloads. then follow the steps for installing the driver. That should do the trick after a clean install of the operating system.
Sorry here is the link.

the device you saw in the device manager is for your cabled/ wired connection to the internet and not for your wireless connection. when in the device manager, do you see anything that has a big yellow question mark?
