T-Mobile Mobile Broadband USB stick 615 (Huawei e173)

Hi guys, 
  Has anyone used a USB Mobile Broadband device with LFS?
  A quick search with google comes up with Mint and Ubuntu and using usb-modeswitch or something, 
and one result that went to T-Mobile said only laptops and sticks brought as a bundle from Carphonewharehouse 
are supported.
 
  If someone has been able to get this working, any chance of a guide/pointing in the right direction..
 
  ps at the moment i am running a 6.3 I think on a sony vaio laptop, and about to install the latest 6.8 when i get around to it,
if i have to i`ll use windows to download everything then boot into lfs to start 6.8 install
 
thanks for any replies
