Number of endpoints varies, your rt73usb device only has 2 endpoints, while
mine appears to have 5.
The only thing the driver is doing now is reading the EEPROM and double checking
the first 2 bytes to see which device has been loaded.

Please note that some manufacturers (most notorious example Linksys) managed
to get 5 different chipsets under a single USB ID. chipsets came from Broadcom,
Ralink and Prism.
For what it is worth, I am attaching the lsusb -v output from my hardware
(both rt73usb as well as rt2500usb).
