After I blacklisted the rt2500usb in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, I rebooted the system and I get the following messages in dmesg when I plug the device: [ 31.500242] usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 [ 31.772166] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=148f, idProduct=2573 [ 31.772188] usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 31.772204] usb 1-4: Product: 802.11 bg WLAN [ 31.772216] usb 1-4: Manufacturer: Ralink [ 31.972449] cfg80211: Using static regulatory domain info [ 31.972462] cfg80211: Regulatory domain: 00 [ 31.972472] (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) [ 31.972483] (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (600 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 31.972494] (2457000 KHz - 2482000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (600 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 31.972505] (2474000 KHz - 2494000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (600 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 31.972516] (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (600 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 31.972527] (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (600 mBi, 2000 mBm) [ 31.973352] cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain [ 32.594920] phy0 -> rt73usb_validate_eeprom: EEPROM recovery - NIC: 0xffef [ 32.594939] phy0 -> rt73usb_validate_eeprom: EEPROM recovery - Led: 0xe000 [ 32.594955] phy0 -> rt73usb_validate_eeprom: EEPROM recovery - RSSI OFFSET A: 0x0000 [ 32.597348] phy0 -> rt2x00_print_chip: Info - Chipset detected - rt: 1300, rf: 0002, rev: 0002573a.

At this point both the internal and the Edimax EW-7318Ug started to work. I could disable the internal wlan driver with the command "rmmod rt2860sta" temporary to see if everything works fine.
