I've got a "Huawei E170" (HSDPA broadband modem USB stick) with a driver CD for Windows XP & Vista, but now I got a netbook with Windows 7, and the driver installer won't run.

I've called the telecom, but they just offered to sell me a new stick :-(

Is there really no Win7 driver available for the E170 stick? Or can I trick it into installing anyway?
