first off wine ran diablo II fine on my laptop and if u have sound issues run winecfg and configure your sound. It worked fine on mine. Secondly, cedega does run diablo II as well I didn't see any performance increase and u have to pay for it. (I did buy it tho) they have a 14 day trial you can download and see if you like it
to install Diablo II with wine use the following (assuming you have wine installed):
If you have not configured wine just type wine.
# wine
(it will set itself up)
# wine /media/DiabloII_Play/install.exe
it will run and be self explanatory. the above is just to give you an idea i don't remember the disc name
Distribution: Gentoo (desktop), Arch linux (laptop)

May be your laptop was too strong to run Diablo.
I have a quite old computer and it runs windows app rather slow.
I have a bit performance increase with cedega.
By the way, there is many thread on this forum tell you how to get cedega for free via CVS
# ar x thefile.deb
# ls
control.tar.gz data.tar.gz debian-binary thefile_i386.deb
# tar xzf data.tar.gz -C /
And I guess you'd have to play around with the data to work it out. There might be some debian tools for Red Hat or whichever linux distro that doesn't have Debian .deb capabilities to work with the .deb files correctly.
