Hi!

Having a similar USB wifi stick (edimax EW-7318USg featuring the same RT73 chipset as yours), i had also problems, but in feisty (not upgraded yet).
The point is, the solution I found was to fall back to the legacy driver (rt73 instead of rt73usb, the new driver) and it works well.
I dig up a little and found this on the rt2x00 forum [1], concerning feisty. Basically, "The Ubuntu-shipped rt73usb is quite old and not functional. ". The version used in ubuntu feisty is 0cvs20061202-1. Now i have checked for current gutsy's version : 0cvs20070219-2ubuntu1.
So my guess is that a more recent CVS snapshot of rt2x00 should fix this problem...

Anyway in order to have all the necessary information to process the bug, could you give us the remaining needed information :
- The output of "cat /proc/version_signature"

Thanks!
