"What happens if you don't install it [the driver] ?" looks like willingness to learn to me, which puts x 7 several orders of intelligence above the average manager. We're not born experts, it takes pain, exposure to lusers and unwilling loss of follicles. Enough with the down-votes already.
x 7, imagine a Raspberry Pi made small enough to fit into a motherboard chipset with electronic tentacles that reach deep into the parent machine. The operating system for this parasitic computer is embedded into the BIOS, so it initialises first before the BIOS/EFI hands off to the real operating system. The only way to confound it (as pointed out downthread, it's not really permanently castrated, just befuddled) is to take away its bits of BIOS to the point it enters a halted state and minds its own sodding business. All the driver does is allows you to interact with it from the main operating system. Without the driver, it's still there with its tentacles in your RAM and buses but your OS isn't aware of what the conduit that links the parasitic computer to the main computer is for.
