How do you completely remove a driver set?

I'm having issues with enabling WIFI on my IBM Laptop via the FN F5 function and in order to fix this, I think I need to completely remove everything related to this and try to reinstall this software again. Problem is, I'm trying to remove the intel wireless drivers and every time I load up the system, the computer loads up the drivers for the wifi card despite me removing the drivers when I uninstalled them. I'm wondering how to go about completely wiping the system of these particular drivers much like driver cleaner does.
 
well....physically delete drivers from HD. Use a registry cleaner like jv16 powertools, search for entries in the registry and delete those (careful).

Problem might be that those drivers are in the MS cab-files and when it detects the device they get re-installed from the *.cab (which would require cleaning and rebuilding of windows driver-cab files)...or even downloads drivers online.

ALSO..i think you might have success experimenting with just disabling the device in device manager. If you do that the device doesn't get started, had similiar problems once on a notebook and disabling the device in devicemanager helped.
 
I only need to remove the device drivers so that I can reinstall them again with out issues. I'm having problem with the hotkey type function on my IBM laptop (FN+F5).
