During the installation of Ubuntu drivers will be installed to get your system going. After installation you may need to install better suited drivers for specific devices. This obviouly will only be needed if devices aren't functioning as they should.

Could you provide examples .. What are the drivers that will be installed automatically and what are the drivers that will need an action from me??
