So this argument doesn't convince me: "Applications running a Kernel Mode driver is a standard windows function used by many windows application so should work with Wine." Wine has no special privilege under Linux: it isn't kernel mode itself. In general, if you want to do something that requires kernel mode, you must write a device driver for the operating system you're running on. Wine has made some attempts to support some Windows drivers, but only because some of them don't actually require kernel mode. Those that do, Wine simply cannot support. Windows is no different in this regard.
