My understanding is that USB WiFi driver support in Linux is spotty, but you may be in luck if you do have the HWUG1. A quick Google search seems to indicate good support for it in Linux.

Whether you're using the HWUG1 or another adapter, you're almost certainly going to have to compile a custom Linux kernel to add support for your adapter to your Internet tablet. You'll also need a USB adapter--and possibly some sort of power injector--to get everything working.
I have the HWUG1, but too bad for me. I know nothing about Linux. N800 is my first Linux device. Can you give me some info on how to do that? Do we compile within N800 or we need a Linux machine with some kind of compiler...? Thanks
