wine users - Dec 2008 - Help with Battlefield 2 and EADM

Hi,

I purchased BF2: Complete Collection from EA's web site about a year or so
ago.  I was running Windows and bought it using EA's Download Manager (aka
EA Link).  I couldn't run the game without that program being active.  Now,
I proudly, run Linux full time and I can't get the game going because it
still depends on EADM.  I installed EADM, but it won't run.  Is there a work
around - it's darn near impossible to submit a question on EA's Support
site.

I have a valid license, but it looks like either the license or the install file
I have are bound to EADM.  My only other option is to torrent a copy of BF2 and
apply a crack or get another license.  This is crazy!  Thanks for any help.

Fedora 9 x86_64
nVidia GeForce 8600 GT
Wine-1.1.9-2.fc9.i386
Battlefield 2 v1.41

What doesn't work? Check the AppDB for hints.

Mainly it's EADM that's not working.  I checked AppDB and there was
nothing on it.  I did a Google search and it was pretty dismal.
