Maybe. If the dll's behave themselves, Wine may well run them. If they
try to access the hardware directly, it won't. Wine uses the underlying
OS (linux or other *NIX) to work the hardware. It can't give windows
.dll's or .drv's the ability to access the hardware directly. If you
need that, you might look into vmware or - I forget the name of the
other one
