OK, for those of you that followed this thread all the way down to here looking for how to fix the problem...
Here is how I fixed it.
I created a new file called /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rt2500usb.conf with the following content
------------------------------------------------
# For whatever reason, the rt2500usb and rt73usb drivers are both
# getting loaded. To stop this situation, stop the rt2500usb driver
# from loading (Ubuntu: #396417)
blacklist rt2500usb
------------------------------------------------
