I researched it quite a bit just a month ago or so and found almost
no support at all.  I found a couple references to HPNA1 in drivers
but nothing definitatly claiming Linux support for HPNA2.  I heard
that many of the HPNA2 cards are based on a Broadcom chipset and that
Linux does not support them because the company won't release the
details.

I believe with HPNA2 this is a good alternate to the airwaves for home
networkings.  Therefore, I am very interested to hear if you find out
anything.
