    Not by choice. I'm assuming Debian chose this driver by default. Is there
    a way I can find out which driver is currently installed? If I need to
    change the driver, how would I do this?

    TIA. This is my first time installing Debian, and I'm not a Linux
    wizard at the best of times. Some of these questions may appear basic, but
    I'm just trying to learn how to do this stuff.
