Should network connectivity work with wine assuming it works with Linux? Assuming I need to install the Windows driver for my network card, how do I do that with a non-native Windows install (just wine)?

Either it works immediately, or you are probably out of luck. Things like IE should work, or for a very small, simple test app, try: http://www.navagent.com/products/earthquake/

Wine translates the Windows API calls into Linux calls above the driver level. GetRight, Kazza, Pegasus Mail, IE, Trillian, are all 'network' apps I've used via Wine (Crossover Office may have been used in some cases). If you have a specific app you're trying to get working, it would be more helpful to post more info.

All network access goes via Linux, and thus uses native Linux drivers. (You wouldn't be able to install a Windows network card driver on Wine anyway.) Stephen
