No, and no.
The answer to "Is it left alone?" is "yes".
Wireshark will install WinPcap, but that doesn't replace existing
network adapter drivers, either. It does install a driver, but that's
not a network adapter driver, it's a driver that plugs into the same
framework that network adapter drivers plug into (NDIS), so that
WinPcap's driver can connect to the network adapter and receive packets
from it.
