In case other people are interested in the register differences as well,
attached is the real difference between the registers. Registers that are
different have the register name and meaning on the right side.

Interesting things to note:
 - SIFS/EIFS timing is different, which is expected since rt2500usb now
    listens to mac80211 for this information.
 - Activity led is disabled, not interesting for this bug, but it really should have
   been set to 1.
 - mac80211 now uses short preamble
 - Basic rates mask is 0, this is very odd....
 - Link tuner value is set to 0, I seriously doubt that is a correct value
 - TX power is different, mac80211 probably has set it to something different

Thats it for now, if anybody has any ideas, please let me know. :)
