What a nightmare…

Add the following lines in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:
blacklist rt73usb
blacklist rt2500usb

Remove these (the blacklisted) modules:
modprobe -r rt73usb
modprobe -r rt2500usb

You may have to install kernel-headers if the following steps after this don’t work:
zypper install linux-kernel-headers kernel-source

Download drivers (remember to install the firmware, too, as mentioned in the post) from http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com.
