I missed the bit about the OP running squeeze. At any rate he has three 
choices that I can find
Ubuntu 32bit
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Ubuntu+x86+32
Ubuntu 64bit
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Ubuntu+x86+64
Or just Linux (32 + 64bit)
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux+x86

Both Ubuntu versions are for 14.04 or better. The "Linux" version is a 
zip file. You need kernel header package installed to use that one as it 
will compile itself, like the nvidia driver from nvidia does. Ric
