I was hoping to get some help with these instructions that came with
the rt2500 driver (which I hope will successfully drive the MSI PC54G2
wireless card).

Specifically, I don't understand the second line, 'cp
../2.6.x/Makefile .' It seems to be asking me to copy a file from
somewhere to somewhere else, but only gives one directory (or is it
subdirectory) that doesn't exist. Because I don't understand what I am
trying to do, I don't really understand how to go about interpreting
it [perhaps that's a hint to anyone who writes documentation].
Thankyou for any help. ~Nick

For 2.6 series kernel:

a.  run 'cd STA/Module'

'cp ../2.6.x/Makefile .'

My guess is that you have downloaded the driver source and extracted it into some directory. You are now reading instructions in that directory. So I'd expect there to be subdirectories STA and STA/Module in the driver source so that you could follow this instruction to change directory and copy in the appropriate Makefile.
