You are right, I meant that wine incorrectly selectes the network interface to
use in windows program, sorry.

An easy program to test this withis eMule. eMule has a web server and with that
feature enable in preferences, you can see the ip address the web server is
using on the servers tab, in the right panel. If vmware interfaces are up, the
web server takes the ip adress from those virtual interfaces. If you disable
the vmware network interfaces (through Vmware's Virtual Network Editor) the
emule web server gets the right ip from wlan0. Also while the vmware interfaces
are up, the program is unable to connect.
