I have to add that I'm in contact with somebody who is looking into supporting Ack-based TX status reporting in mac80211 which could cure this problem. I have directed him to the linux-wireless list so he will probably soon send his ideas to the list. In any case, for now we can assume rt2500usb and rt73usb to be a problem.
