Hmm thanks for letting me know, but then that still present a problem. Several network programs rely strongly on winpcap to work - would it be possible for wine to implement libpcap (Wireshark base) and fool the program into thinking it were using WinPcap? Some example programs are KFSensor which relies on this.
Possible? Yes. Going to happen? No, because it's beyond Wine's scope. Winpcap isn't part of Windows. So, we might get its device driver to install, even though that's slightly beyond Wine's scope, but the best we could do is for it to do nothing. That is, it'd never capture any packets. This is almost certainly not what you want, and you really need to investigate a native solution, or convince the app developers to write one for you.
