Need windows driver when using wine?

I need to use a PCMCIA card with serial port on my linux laptop together with a Windows program.

Can anyone tell me if I need to install the windows driver that came with the PCMCIA card; if so, the driver for which Windows version?.

Or should the Windows program running on wine be able to access the serial port on the PCMCIA card if the card is installed correctly under my OpenSuse 11.1?

Cheers

[Question]

You need to install the card in Linux and then extend the com port so
that Wine can use it.

Many thanks for the prompt reply!!

I have installed the card in Linux, but what do you mean with "extend the com port so that Wine can use it." ?
