I have a USB WiFi dongle, but the drivers I have are in .exe format. I'm wondering if I can download Wine onto a USB drive and then use it to install and run these drivers on my Linux system, even if I don't have an internet connection. Is this possible?

Unfortunately, you can't use Wine to install drivers on Linux. Wine is designed for running Windows applications, but drivers operate at a much deeper level within the operating system, which Wine can't handle. Think of it like trying to connect an old Game Boy camera to a Game Boy emulator; it just doesn't work that way.
Thanks for clarifying! I just wanted to know if it was a possibility.
