OpenBSD worked because they added SPARKLAN RT2573 in rev 1.67:

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/usb/if_rum.c#rev1.67
    SPARKLAN RT2573, found in HP s3200n, owned by laa%laa.zp.ua@localhost
    rum vs ural determination done by jsg

I can now see my access point:

$ sudo ifconfig rum0 list scan
SSID                              BSSID              CHAN RATE  S:N     INT CAPS

 WPA WME

WPA2 doesn't seem to work. I'll later try other encryption options.

PS: if_rum.c in NetBSD is based on OpenBSD rev 1.40 but they current
version in 1.97. It's worth going through a list of changes since 1.40.
For example, this little typo is not fixed in NetBSD:
