How can I run Battlestar Galactica Online on a Linux OS?

I am aware that Battle Star Galactica Online requires the Unity 3d browser plug-in to play. It is currently only available to Windows. I installed the windows version of Firefox 20 using Wine 1.4.1. It ran beautifully and smoothly. Then I installed the United 3d browser plugin version 4.1.2f1 using wine. I registered for the game and went to play it. However, it gave me this error when the game started to load:

Failed to update Unity web player
Error Details       Install Manually

This is the newest version of the Unity player. Also, selecting Error details produces a pop up that says:

A New version of the Unity Web Player is required, but the auto-update download failed.
Was trying to download http://webplayer.unity3d.com//Channels/795a449bc926/UnityPlayer3.x.x-win32.zip

Does anyone know what is causing the problem? Has anyone figured out a work around?
