Hi,

a real "driver" or some driver "alike" software? 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
