HID device (USB protection dongle) not recognized

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to run a software that relies on an USB protection dongle.
Windows sees the dongle as a HID device, and my Debian detects it correctly.

Here's the dump from lsusb for that device:

I've built Wine 1.4 with USB patch from http://wiki.winehq.org/USB but the device is still undetected.

The device require no driver on Windows and it's controlled by a DLL (matrix32.dll). This DLL depends on KERNEL32.DLL, USER32.DLL, WINSPOOL.DRV, ADVAPI32.DLL.

I see that these functions are imported from WINSPOOL.DRV: ClosePrinter, SetPrinterA, OpenPrinterA, EnumPrintersA.

Maybe the device is not detected because support for these functions is still not complete? Or there could be another reason?
Some test I can do?

Thanks in advance.

I tried to track down the problem.

Following the procedure on http://wiki.winehq.org/USB, I copied the driver hidusb.sys to .wine/windows/system32/drivers.

But then I realized that this driver needs both USBD.SYS and HIDCLASS.SYS...
Mr. Dmitry says that

Drivers which depend on modules other than ntoskrnl.exe, hal.dll, usbd.sys will not work

So I guess there is no way to get this device working.

Some other ideas?

Correct.
