USB Plug&Play Drivers

I'm having a question here. I'm new to Vista, so it is sort of based
on issues I have with XP.

In XP, if I plug a device into a USB port, then Windows installs
drivers for it. It also does this if I plug a card into the Cardbus
slot.

If I keep using the same port or slot, then the driver isn't installed
again. Howver, if I plug the device into another port or slot, it
seems the device drivers are installed again. This way I ended up with
multiple designations for my Wireless card.

I could never figure out how to delete this, except by actually
reinstalling the OS. Is there a way to see what PnP drivers are
installed even if they are not active and then uninstall them?

Thanks.
