I was aware of the recent rt2x00 adhoc breakage but hadn't looked into it yet,
the below suggestion about the netif_carrier does make sense though,
since the last report it was working was before rt2x00 removed the ieee80211_netif
calls, and the first report of its breakage was some time after the removal.
(Since a lot of code has been moved around in between the ieee80211_netif wasn't
the first thing that I would have thought of as a probable cause. ;) )
