Winpcap on linux

I am trying to port a Windows executable to Linux using wine. I am at a point where I can run executables, but it returns some error saying that it cannot load the "npf" driver. Is there a way to port winpcap to Linux as well? The application I'm trying to run depends on the winpcap library.

thank

Libpcap? This is the original version of pcap, which was then made in winpcap ...

winpcap depends on user Windows drivers, to provide access to raw streams, it is impossible to port as it is for wine.

winpcap is essentially a set of Windows drivers and two DLLs that allow applications to send and receive raw network packets from network cards and were originally a tool for using the same functions as tcdump on Uxix / Linux on WIndows. So, maybe the solution is a Linux wrapper for the libpcap (capture) and libnet (send) libraries that provide winpcap binary compatibility? Can Playonlinux guys help?
