Thank you for the explanation! Now I have disabled 
CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY and I have installed CRDA and iw. After 
setting the country I'm able to create the ad-hoc IBSS between the two PCs.

According to my opinion the error message posted in the original message of 
this thread might be misleading for the user: the network card doesn't enter 
in ad-hoc mode because the country for the CRDA is not set while the error 
says that the ad-hoc mode is not supported. What do you think about?
