[Bug 47279] New: TP-Link PowerLineUtility installs but does nothing

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47279

Bug ID: 47279
           Summary: TP-Link PowerLineUtility installs but does nothing
           Product: Wine
           Version: 4.9
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

The TP-Link PowerLineUtility.exe installes OK under wine 4.9 (my thanks to the
team for fixing the bug I reported recently which prevented installation). 
Running the installed app offers me "Trust and launch", whereupon I get the
"round hourglass" for about 15 seconds, then... nothing.  No error window, no
nothing.

It should be accessing the status and configuration of the power line modems
that I have.  The Linux box it's on is communicating over them to post this
message.

The app in question can be downloaded from

Confirming. From terminal logs:

zeb@terabithia$ wine tpPLC.exe 
01b1:err:module:import_dll Library packet.dll (which is needed by L"C:\Program
Files (x86)\TP-Link\TP-Link PLC Utility\PLCOperation.dll") not found
01b1:err:module:import_dll Library PLCOperation.dll (which is needed by
L"C:\Program Files (x86)\TP-Link\TP-Link PLC Utility\tpPLC.exe") not found
01b1:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Importing dlls for L"C:\Program Files
(x86)\TP-Link\TP-Link PLC Utility\tpPLC.exe" failed, status c0000135

It needs "packet.dll", which is a component of winpcap. Wine provides
wpcap.dll, but not packet.dll. The exports it wants are PacketOpenAdapter(),
PacketRequest(), and PacketCloseAdapter(). I have no idea how hard it would be
to implement these.

Upstream implementation of 'packet.dll':

https://github.com/wireshark/winpcap/tree/267327e28031d2d3d74c28cf18a08dfbc5...

It interfaces with the Netgroup Packet Filter (NPF), the kernel portion of
WinPcap (NDIS filter driver).
