I think perhaps it would be better if you asked this as a new mail but
here goes:
I tried to look up the HP specs but they do not mention the brand of
wireless hardware. However we can assume it is NOT Intel that normally
works "out of the box" with Kubuntu.

I would try running the "additional drivers" found in the app menu
under "System" headline. Be connected with a cable to internet while
doing so and chances are good that a driver is found and installed.

For the Asus EEE 1000 I have installed Kubuntu with no problems
regarding wireless but try the above method. If that does not work try
www.kubuntuforums.net and see if anyone there has information. Or for
that matter www.ubuntuforums.org where I think there is a special
forum for Asus EEE netbooks.

Kind regards,
Sinclair
