/lib/modules/2.*/build is expected to be a symbolic link pointing to the
kernel source code. Rules.make is a file in the kernel source.

I don't know whether you will have to install the full source code (I don't
use Debian kernels or even kernel-package).
You might also like to try the CVS version of this driver:
$ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/rt2400 login
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/rt2400 co source
***
My recipe for building the driver would go something like this:
Install kernel source code. Find relevant .config file and put it in the
kernel source directory. While there, run
$ make include/linux/version.h symlinks oldconfig include/config/MARKER \
`/bin/pwd`/include/linux/modversions.h
Go to driver source directory. Run
$ make PATCHLEVEL=4 KERNDIR=/usr/src/linux_SOURCE_CODE_DIRECTORY clean
$ make PATCHLEVEL=4 KERNDIR=/usr/src/linux_SOURCE_CODE_DIRECTORY
Put the resulting kernel module rt2500.o in some appropriate directory
under /lib/modules/2.4.WHATEVER_VERSION. Make sure that the line
alias ra0 rt2500
is in some file in /etc/modutils. Make sure that /sbin/update-modules and
/sbin/depmod are run before trying to load the module.
Make sure that /etc/network/interfaces knows what to do with the "ra0"
interface.
