Simple answer: Wine cannot. Complex answer: Wine is a user space application and by default drivers for Linux run at the kernel level. Linux will NOT allow user space applications t load kernel level drivers. Windows handles this differently as it loads drivers into a location between a user application and the kernel. You can Google for this information and get a graphical representation of what happens between programs, drivers and the operating system kernel for both Linux and Windows. James McKenzie
