I am 'assuming' that when you say you 'downloaded' the module that you did that from the serialmonkey site. There is a another way to do that, the debian way. apt-chche search rt2 (These are from the lenny dist) rt2400 - configuration tool for wireless RT2400 network cards rt2400-source - RT2400 wireless network drivers source rt2500 - configuration tool for wireless RT2500 network cards rt2500-source - RT2500 wireless network drivers source rt2570-source - RT2570 wireless network drivers source rt2x00-modules-2.6.18-4-k7 - RT2x00 wireless network drivers rt2570-modules-2.6.18 - RT2570 wireless network drivers rt2x00-source - RT2x00 wireless network drivers source I gave up on my Ralink dongle but I seem to recall that you also had to download firmware for it.
