This is not a primary goal of Wine, but there are two main projects that do
this that I know of.
1. Captive (NTFS) - http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/
2. NdisWrapper (network) - http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/

If you are willing to develop a solution for another type of driver then I
would recommend taking a look at http://www.reactos.org which implements a
large chunk of the NT kernelspace.
