The instructions as you pasted them appear incorrect.

Try these commands exactly:
  tar xzf RT2500-Linux-STA-1.4.4.0.tar.gz
  cd RT2500-Linux-STA-1.4.4.0/STA/Module
  cp 2.6.x/Makefile .
  make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/ SUBDIRS=$PWD modules
  make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/ SUBDIRS=$PWD modules_install
  /sbin/depmod
  /sbin/modprobe rt2500

# replace YOUR_IP with a valid IP address for your LAN:
  /sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up


Disclaimer: I have no clue if it works.  It may crash your computer or
eat your branes.  The build output looks absolutely horrible.  But the
module does seem to load properly on my machine.  I have no rt2500 to
test, though.
