The drivers rt2500usb and rt73usb both contain the usb id 148f:2573 while only
the latter is suitable for devices with that id.
As a consequence, both drivers will be loaded and system log shows messages
like "rt2500usb_init_eeprom: Error - Invalid RT chipset detected".
If you use the above search term, you will find more than 1500 hits with a
well known search engine, confirming that rt2500usb is always the wrong
driver for devices with usb id 148f:2573 and quite often as a side effect
confusion arose about this -non fatal but misleading- error message in the
respective bug reports or threads.
This trivial patch removes the id 148f:2573 from rt2500usb driver.
