I did not know, but a quick Google showed that (not unusual) Windows
programmers may use at least half a dozen way of detecting that an
adapter is present.
Best guess is with the iphlpapi. Run with WINEDEBUG=+iphlpapi wine ...
If there are iphlpapi trace's, post them.
If not, it is possible it tries to get the information from the
registry. Run wine with the +relay debug channel, and look at suspicious
registry entries that are queried ("ethernet", "adapter", "device" etc.)
Other traces that might give a clue are winsock (WINEDEBUG=+winsock),
com (WINEDEBUG=+ole).
If your program can be downloaded somewhere, enter an bug report in
wine's bugzilla (http://bugs.winehq.org) and give the programs URL.
