My guess is that you have downloaded the driver source and extracted it 
into some directory. You are now reading instructions in that directory. 
So I'd expect there to be subdirectories STA and STA/Module in the 
driver source so that you could follow this instruction to change 
directory and copy in the appropriate Makefile.
