wine users - May 2011 - Clearwire mobile usb modem hack for ubuntu 11.04 64 bit ?

Hello friends 

 :D 
          Wanted to say you guys rock!! Some of the smartest people in the world
are right here, now if you just ran world political affairs lol. My current
project is making my Clearwire mobile usb modem run in Linux. The device is this
one here.
http://www.clear.com/devices/details/id/55
I am looking to do this for my Toshiba  laptop and would be in heaven to have
mobile Internet in native Linux. I have about one month into hacking it.  The
device will not allow access without successful install of the drivers and
connection manager found in the windows 7  software.  I am no stranger to wine
but this software has a massive amount of .dll files and .inf files scattered
throughout different folders. Since I am forced to dual boot windows 7 I have
taken a image from windows and dropped it into wine. Thus far i can get it to
successfully install but as soon as the connection manager starts it crashes
giving me a registry error message. Then I took the data from windows 7 sys 32
and sys files and copied em to wine. I went so far lol and got so deep was
starting to look like virtual box lol                    [Laughing]     Any
thoughts or suggestions guys on what I may have missed?  Thanks for reading
Windows attracts viruses, worms and greedy corporations. Linux attracts real
people helping each other with the freedom to tweak software and systems as you
please

Wine does not support Windows Drivers.  Not possible.
