Trying to get my wireless working.  Gonna try to use rt2570 driver but having problems installing it.  The instructions that came with the driver says,

Installation instructions for the rt2570 Module

=======================================================================
Build Instructions:
====================
    For 2.4 or 2.6 series kernel:

    a. $tar -xvzf rt2570-x.x.x.tar.gz
    go to "./rt2570-x.x.x/Module" directory.

    b. $make # compile driver source code
