Windows specific drivers, such as yours, are not supported by Wine, yet.

Wine is primarily for translating APIs in userspace Win32 programs to
Unix userspace APIs. Allowing access to hardware requires working in
the kernel space with the associated complexity, restrictions and
being tied to one platform and has typically been approached in a
different direction (see Captive NTFS and ndiswrapper for Linux).

However, you may have some luck making a wrapper around dlportio.dll,
whatever that is, by implementing it using calls to an existing driver
for the hardware.
