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.
