Very much so (although the settings page could be lying to me):

Copy from the settings page of my AP:
Wireless > Channel and SSID

Wireless Channel: 11    
Extension Channel: 7
SSID: ...
Wireless Mode: 802.11g
Bandwidth: 20/40Mhz (not changeable)
Broadcast SSID: enabled
Protected Mode: OFF
802.11e/WMM QoS: ON

Wireless > Security
Security Mode: WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK)
Authentication: WPA2-PSK
Encryption Technique: AES
PSK: ....

I've set it to G because I have a PS3 and another PC with a G adapter in
the network as well. (I thought setting it to just G would be the most
reliable setting).

About my test run in trusty:
I started with using nohwcrypt=0. I sent a 12Mbit/s UDP stream over wlan0 
(noone listening on the other end, so it's only transmitting). The connection 
died and stayed dead after 3-4 hours.

Afterwards, with nohwcrypt=1 I could run iperf for 12+ hours until I
gave up. It only lost its connection once and it reauthenticated under
water immediately after a few hours (which is not bothersome behaviour
for me).

Then again I did a test with nohwcrypt=0. I got the connection to drop
with reason 6 and 15 again after a few hours. I could not get it to
authenticate again. I switched by rmmod ath9k_htc and modprobing
ath9k_htc with the right options. Eventually this caused a cold
reset(!), with all USB devices' power being disabled at boot up. When I
replugged my USB keyboard in a different port, it got power and I could
choose the USB boot menu to boot trusty.... Instead it reset again,
turning off power to *all* USB ports, leaving me no choice but to power
down by PSU. Afterwards everything is hunky dory again. Not sure whether
this behaviour is significant, as the wifi adapter is also hosted on the
USB bus and I'm not sure whether rmmod is supposed to be that dangerous.

So I guess using nohwcrypt=1 solely is a winner for me. Txpower does not
amount to anything. I haven't had connection problems with my PS3 or
with the other PC.

I am willing to try out other things if this helps locating this bug. I
can see the Ralink RT3052 listed in the openwrt hardware table. Would it
be interesting to try out openwrt with this wifi adapter in nohwcrypt=0?
