Yes. The wireless card needs drivers. Without these drivers, the card stops working. Reinstalling the OS will remove these drivers. Without the Driver CD or a copy of the driver available, you will lose your network/internet connection.

YES!!! If you can save, or download your drivers to usb flash drive, or burn to cd, do that.

Drivers for the wireless will be lost when formatting it, you would have to re-download the drivers or install them with a Disk before you could use it again.
Hope This Helps!
