You missed the message from rt2x00 2 lines above this trace, which undoubtly have said something like:
	"Invalid RT chipset detected."
which is triggered when rt73usb is loaded for a device it does not support

The current workaround for this issue is blacklisting rt73usb and making sure the driver
which is required for your driver is loaded instead.

I'll look into the reason why this actually triggers a NULL pointer, since that is obviously a nasty bug.

-stable needs a patch similar to the one here:

	http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/rhel5/patches/jwltest-rt2x00lib-probe-fail.patch

Ah yes, that would be a good one.
I kind of assumed it was already merged, and hadn't actually verified that yet. ;)

Well the code in 2.6.27 is different, this patch is no longer necessary
(and doesn't apply).
