Umm Linux has support for USB, has had it natively since 2.2 and through modules even earlier!

TO the matter at hand, the MN510 uses the prism 2/2.5/3 chipset and as such the MPL driver - linux-wlan-ng will work for it.
Check out the FAQ: ftp://ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng/FAQ
or you can visit the website here: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_...1b.html#Prism2
