Punkbuster in Linux

[Budious]

I have only been using linux for about a month and need some help. I have tried re-installing RtCW and Quake3 several times already and it hasn't helped. After installation when I first time I run the games, I can enable punkbuster and play just fine on any server with pb in use but I get kicked within about 10 mins "... PB client falied to update, you have been kicked for 2 minutes...". The next time I start the game the PB client is shown as disabled, if I click to enable, it remains disabled. I have found if I delete the pb folder from /home/user/.wolf/ and run the game I can then enable PB client and play for about 10 mins when I get kicked for same error above. I have tried updating the PB files manually from evenbalance website and it seems they have taken down their tech support forums as well, any help to be found here? :unsure:

EDIT: The distro is Mandrake 9.0

Makes cheating much easier doesn't it ;)

"Hey, you're cheating.... you don't have punkbuster enabled"

"No I'm not, I'm using Linux"

..... Meanwhile your frag count increases 20 fold........ :p

Heh... I wish, problem is I CAN'T get on a punkbuster enabled server unless my client is enabled, so thus this means I can not join the %60 of servers using punkbuster.
