Does this "driver" work when using a VM? If a real "driver" is required, then it can't work, neither when using wine, nor when using Windows 7 in a VM. Real "drivers" for FreeBSD as well as for Linux are kernel modules for FreeBSD (or Linux), installing a Windows thingy can't work. If it should be some driver "alike" software you perhaps need to install some missing dll, let alone that some software doesn't run properly under wine, if at all. perhaps you have better luck when using a VM. If you really need a driver that isn't available for FreeBSD, then you indeed need a dual/multi boot with a real Windows install. Regards, Ralf .
