I just read something on this the other day. It'll take more research but I think I remember the literature saying LLC (Logical Link Control) sublayer. Which makes sense. LLC is more involved with communicating with logical addressing and the communication that takes place with the layer above it (layer 3 "Network"). I'm pretty sure this is where the drivers come in. Double check though. I could be wrong. Interesting though. Here's something to the contrary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Driver_Interface_Specification

Such as: Driver Provider / Drive Date / Driver Version / Digital Signer Along with: "Driver Detials" to view information about the drivers (the names & locations of the drivers files) ******************************* "Update Driver" (Will open up the Hardware Update Wizard & give the option to Install the software automatically or Install from a list or specific location) (You can also goto the manufacturers website of the display advice and search all the drivers, some software, such as a game may require a certain driver to make the game function correctly) ******************************* "Roll Back Driver" (Provides the option of reverting to the original default driver. This is especially useful if you update with a new driver and have conflict issues after, you can simply choose to roll-back to a working driver) ******************************* "Uninstall Driver" (Self-explanatory.

Which device needs a driver to operate on your computer?
Modern operating systems are designed to operate on top of a hardware abstraction layer (some even call it so). This allows the same operating system version to execute on a variety of hardware combinations, supporting a number of different processor types, motherboard chipsets, on-board audio, etc, etc.Driver software is a general term for software which links the hardware abstraction layer to the real hardware, as one driver knows hows how to handle one processor type, and another knows how to handle another, for example.Some modern operating systems strive for a very high level of hardware abstraction such that every device, even including the central processing unit itself, needs a driver. Other operating systems may deploy a less rigorous abstraction policy, and require explicit driver software only for certain components such as printers or video cards. These would support hardware which is diverse enough for the operating system's manufacture not to include implicit driver code within the operating system itself, but ultimately all code which interfaces with real hardware could be seen as a driver.
when I shut down my PC then turn it back on I do not get on the internet, I have to reset or unplug the router to get back on the internet. why?
Chances are your computer's network card does not have up to date drivers or configuration. Check the manufacturer's website and verify that you have the most recent driver, otherwise the router could be at fault (it might not be assigning a new IP address when your computer identifies itself on the network). Check the drivers first, however.

What is network adapter?
Definition: A network adapter interfaces a computer to a network. The term "adapter" was popularized originally by Ethernet add-in cards for PCs.Modern network adapter hardware exists in several forms. Besides traditional PCI Ethernet cards, some network adapters are PCMCIA devices (also know as "credit card" or "PC Card" adapters) orUSB devices. Some wireless network adapter gear for laptop computers are integrated circuit chips pre-installed inside the computer.Windows and other operating systems support both wired and wireless network adapters through a piece of software called a "device driver." Network drivers allow application software to communicate with the adapter hardware. Network device drivers are often installed automatically when adapter hardware is first powered on.A few network adapters are purely software packages that simulate the functions of a network card. These so-called virtual adapters are especially common invirtual private networking (VPN).Also Known As: NIC, LAN card
