I don't know if any distribution automatically supports ATM NICs by
default, but yiu can make quite many Linux versions to support those
by adding the necessary drivers and kernel patches to the system.
For example those worked on Red Hat Linux 6.2 on some tests I made
more than one year ago. You can find the ncessary software and information
for ATM on Linux from http://icawww1.epfl.ch/linux-atm/

The page says that ATM support for Linux is currently in pre-alpha stage.
Might not get much better in Linux or other operating systems anytime
soon, because ATM seems to be nowadays as a slowly dying technology...
It tried to be support everything, but is complicated and not very optimal
for anything.
