For anyone who, in the future, needs to install one of these cards on a Linux box. Here are my notes on the topic. This entry, like the earlier one on the Netgear card, will change as I learn more.
1) get and install gcc if you don't already have it
2) cd /usr/src/RT2500-Linux-STA-1.4.4.0/STA/Module/
3) cp 2.6.x/Makefile .
4) make -C /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build SUBDIRS=$PWD modules
5) make -C /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build SUBDIRS=$PWD modules_install
6) /sbin/depmod -a
7) /sbin/modprobe rt2500
8) Start configuring it to connect to your network
