INSTRUCTIONS
## uncompress the driver package from the uppermost directory
cd /
tar -zxvf atmelwlan-3.4.1.1.tar.gz
## map the new modules
depmod
## You will see "depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in ..." error messages for the USB modules.
## Don't worry, this seems to be a known issue with these drivers, but they work anyway.
## If the warning messages annoy you, "depmod -q" can be used.

## load the driver
modprobe pcmf502r  # or one of the other versions
## if no error messages, this should create a network interface, atml0
## can check this by running ifconfig -a
## now set up the wireless network
iwconfig atml0 essid MY_ESSID key 1234567890 mode Managed
## for automatic IP
dhcpcd -t 20 -h puppypc -d atml0
## or for static IP
## modify /etc/resolv.conf to include your nameservers
#ifconfig atml0 192.168.0.xx broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
#route add default gw 192.168.0.1 atml0   # or whatever your router's IP is


MAKING IT PERMANENT
If this driver works with your hardware, you will want to have it available every time you boot up.
Save the driver tarball to your /root directory, which is persistent if you use a pupfile.
Add the uncompress and depmod commands to /root/.etc/rc.d/rc.local

cd /
tar -zxvf /root/atmelwlan-3.4.1.1.tar.gz
depmod

This will install the driver every time you boot up, ready to load and configure as explained above.
A script for this purpose, "atmelwlan-connect" is available.  Just modify the script to include your wireless settings.
