I found an interesting bootable version of linux. It is a version of RH9, and has the linux-wlan drivers included! It was almost too easy to get tne mn-510 working with kismet.
It takes a little setting up (unlike knoppix-std), but you can save your configuration on a floppy or usb drive to get it to run how you want to.
Here are directions on how to use just about every single command and feature:

Here is where you can find it:

I hope someone else finds it as usefull as me!
