rt2500pci should work with adhoc and master mode, I have to note that
with versions up to 2.6.25 this is disabled due to lack of testing.
I don't know which rt2x00 version is packaged in the tarball, but if it
is older then 2.1.0 then adhoc and master mode is disabled in the driver.

Also note that although it is currently enabled, I still have not
received test reports about it, so I cannot claim that it is working.
