Can Wine read my built-in network adapter?

Post by lacksonlaylor »

I am just wandering if the OS installed in WINE can read my physical network adapter.

If it can, Is there any configurations for WINE settings? How can I do that?

Thanks.

Wine doesn't deal directly with hardware. So, if your OS (ie:
OSX/linux) can read and use your card, then you
should be able to use the card with wine.

I will add, that you can't install drivers in wine, that isn't how
wine works. Wine talks to the OS, not to hardware.

I think the question was a scam to promote some website. There have
been a few of these lately.

It was. I edited out the url from both the initial post and the reply.

Hey John,

Oh, thanks... don't i feel dumb...

I did see a few of those scams, last week. But never were they
actually asking questions. just posting crap and links.
