Hello skd,

unfortunately what you request is outside the scope of the Wine project.

Wine is not an operating system and doesn't implement the "Windows kernel"
infrastructure needed to support various kind of hardware driver classes.

Although the user "joaopa" (comment #2) pointed you to some USB project
resources, be aware these projects live outside of Wine and support only very
simple (non-stacked) kernel drivers.
The design is not suitable with more complex hardware drivers.

As general advice: don't buy hardware which is not supported by Linux (kernel).
Wine can't help you with that.

Regards
