I recently bought the asus USB-N53 wireless adapter, and want to install the latest driver for it. It comes with instructions of how to install the driver from the files provided, but I can't use makefile, so can't install the driver correctly. These are the instructions from the readme file included:

=======================================================================

Build Instructions:

1. tar -jxvf 2011_1003_RT3572_Linux_STA_v2.5.0.0.DPO.tar.bz2
   go to ./2011_1003_RT3572_Linux_STA_v2.5.0.0.DPO directory.



2. 
   

   switch to super user.
   ** for Fedora

   
   
   

   $ su
   
   

   
   
   

   ** for Ubuntu

   
   
   

   $ sudo su
   
   

   
   


3. 
   

   in Makefile

   
   
   

   set the "MODE = STA" in Makefile and chose the TARGET to Linux by set "TARGET = LINUX"
   
   

   
   
   

   define the linux kernel source include file path LINUX_SRC
   modify to meet your need.

   
   


4. 
   

   in os/linux/config.mk
   define the GCC and LD of the target machine
   define the compiler flags CFLAGS
   modify to meet your need.

   
   
   

   ** Build for being controlled by NetworkManager or wpa_supplicant wext functions
   Please set HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y and HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y.
   => #> cd wpa_supplicant-x.x
   => #> ./wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ira0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf -d

   
   
   

   ** Build for being controlled by WpaSupplicant with Ralink Driver
   Please set HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y and HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n.
   => #> cd wpa_supplicant-0.5.7
   => #> ./wpa_supplicant -Dralink -ira0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf -d

   
   



5. compile driver source code
   $ make

=======================================================================

Install Instructions:

1. 
   

   load driver

   
   
   

      $ make install   
   
   

   
   



2. plug in USB dongle.

=======================================================================

Can somebody help me to use makefile to install the driver?

EDIT:
When I ran uname -R, the terminal outputted 3.2.0-58-generic-pae.
When I ran lsusb, the terminal outputted:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

I have doubt as to whether the relatively old file will compile, but you are using an older kernel; i.e. 3.2.0-58, so it may work. Let's try. Please get a temporary wired ethernet connection, open a terminal and do:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential

In the folder you extracted, open os > linux > config.mk with any text editor, such as gedit. Change HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y and HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y. Save and close the text editor.

Now back to the terminal and change to the directory with the file; for instance:

cd ~/Desktop/2011_1003_RT3572_Linux_STA_v2.5.0.0.DPO

make clean

make

sudo make install

sudo modprobe rt3572sta

Let us know if you get an error or get stuck.
