From what I have read you may be able to use (ndiswrapper) a program that allows you to run windows drivers under linux. It could in fact be used for almost any driver.
In most cases you need to run that phone as a modem. This assumes you have the cable for that. See pages like this. http://www.windclimber.net/linux/gs...
