Alright here goes it...I have a 3com 3crwe62092b in my laptop running suse 9.0 and i'm kinda new at this "linux thing". I installed the atmel drivers as well as wirless tools but can't get the wireless card to work for the life of me. I've been at it for 2 days reading what I think is every webpage with buth atmel and linux in it. I don't know how to tell is the drivers ar loading right...well I really don't know any thing so I'll give you what info I think might be useful.
