If I would post infos/patches to fix this issue, it will open doors for having
working hacks/cheats again.
Cheating paradise, talk about easy hardware ban evasion whatever.

Wine already allows you to  spoof your hard drive serial # and spoofing your
mac address isn't hard, I think that's all evenbalance uses to issue hardware
bans. 

As for cheating paradise, it's better than not being able to play at all due to
punkbuster. Evenbalance refuses to support, or even assist projects like wine
and cedega. I personally wouldn't mind giving them some incentive to be a
little more community friendly.

Anastasius,  I'm curious about the thunking solution, could you elaborate a
little more on how the thunking approach works? The last version of America's
Army in Linux was 2.3, does it use the same punkbuster version as the newer
windows version, are there conflicts between the Windows and Linux versions?
How does the thunking approach work?
