you need to supply a driver for the USB hardware. Please note that a new model motherboard may not have drivers for XP.

Perhaps you can find drivers here:

A USB port is a standard cable connection interface for personal computers and consumer electronics devices. USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, an industry standard for short-distance digital data communications. USB ports allow USB devices to be connected to each other with and transfer digital data over USB cables.

Many types of consumer electronics support USB interfaces. These types of equipment are most commonly used for computer networking:-

USB network adapters.
USB broadband and cellular modems for Internet access.
USB printers to be shared on a home network.
