It depends on how it's implemented. You're correct that Wine can't support kernel-mode drivers, but there are user-mode ways to talk to hardware, too. Wine supports direct user-mode access to USB devices, so if the control software talks to USB by opening the device and directly reading/writing the protocol itself, then it should work just fine.
