Hardware manager

[rasterman]

Hi all ,

I'm from Germany and need your help.
I use a telephone switchboard from the German Telekom.
The Software is only for Windows but I like to use it with
Ubuntu 10.04 and wine.
With Windows you have to install the Software this way.
1. install the capi-driver ( is for the switchboard)
2. install the Software( to handle the switchboard)
3. unplug the usb-cable and restart the Computer
4. after restart the hardware manager comes up
show where he can find the capi-driver and all works fine.

I've installed the capi-driver and the Software with wine but there
came no hardware manager up.

Can everyone help me with this issue??

Thanks in advance and kind regards

Windows hardware drivers don't work in Wine.

If the hardware is USB hardware, you can probably get it to work inside a virtual machine running Windows. But note that you will need a Windows license to do this, and at that point you may as well use just Windows (unless you're fond of Linux and just want to run this specific software ).
