Well, in fact i have a sugestion: the ethernet interface can exist only in kernel space - as a tun/tap interface, or even as a "dummy" interface - and in this case you can install a "dummy" device in your linux box and attrib a real ip number and netmask to it. If you have another device attached to your linux box, not an ethernet device, with a ip number already configured to it, you can route the packets from the "dummy" interface (visible to wine, i guess) to the this one. I don't know if it will work, but you can give it a try.
