I would advise against using drivers from an infected install anyway. As Ricer said, 
d-load the ethernet and/or modem drivers and worry about the rest later. Most should 
be on the manufacturer's site.
You can use Msinfo32.exe --> Components category to export a text file of your driver 
information. Make a copy of the text file and compare against the device manager 
to cut away any information (like IRQ assignment) you probably will not even look 
at. Put both information files (full and edited) on portable media, along with the 
network drivers, and then begin your wipe/install.

XP System Information (Msinfo32.exe) = http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308549
