How to activate wifi?

[Big Rufus]

Okay, got all the way to installing the driver before I farted out...
Tried two different ways just in case I was making a syntax error in terminal:

insmod /lib/modules/drivers/rt2500.o

This gave me:
insmod: init_module: rt2500: No such device

Then tried first entering:
insmod

Then hit return, then entered:
/lib/modules/drivers/rt2500.0

This gave me:
bash: /lib/modules/drivers/rt2500.o: permission denied

So, then I went to the drivers folder and changed the permission on file rt2500.0 to allow executing and searching. Back to option two:

typed insmod;
hit return;
typed /lib/modules/drivers/rt2500.o
hit return;

This gave me:
bash: lib/modules/drivers/rt2500.0: cannot execute binary file

Just to let ya know I am trying....and what I've tried.

Thanx for all the help so far guys!

@Wicknix:I changed my wireless settings to: no security,changed my SSID so to "hidden", kept the MAC-securityand now I type this posting wireless on my Trendtac.

Update 14-02: Alas! I posted this update to soon. The next day I had the same problem. But today I solved it, and now I can use WPA/PSK and everything works just fine. The reason the Trendtac couldn't connect is really very stupid: 

In my Zyxel router is only place for 10 IP-Mac addresses. So number 11 (my Trendtac)  couldn't connect. I removed one MAC-address (of my back-up computer) and now everything works great!
