No,
The MiFi 4510L is a wireless only device. The drivers have not been released for any OS which would allow for a true teathered/USB connection. There are some exceptions that allow for the MiFi to broadcast and charge when USB connected, but the actual internet connection is still over the wireless.
A wireless card is a requirement with this device.

Another $25-$50 for me to spend. Just to hook this thing up to my PC. I told the rep all I want to do is get rid of my DSL provider and he said all I had to do was hook up the 4510 to my PC and it is all set. These reps in the stores need more training I guess.

Had the same conection problem with my wide's desktop computer tower. I solved it by getting a Wireless USB Adapter from Radio Shack. The lower level one was about $30 and works fine. I'm assuming your computer has a USB 2.0 port.
