An example of a device driver would be the interface between the Windows Operating System and the computers Network Interface Card. Device drivers are used to eliminate the need for the Operating System to know how to "talk" with a given device. The Operating System makes standard calls (called API calls) which are intercepted by the device driver, translated into something the device can understand and passed to the device.
