Don't tell me, tell the list.
Even then, I am not sure this is enough info to help you, since there are no obvious error messages.
Maybe this is simply ad-hoc mode being broken in rt2x00, I think this code is too new. You could try with a way more recent kernel (the wireless-testing tree suggested above), or check that the legacy driver does ad-hoc (I think it does).

I don't know where you pulled this kernel from, but this must be a kern= el
belonging to a particular distro, since rt2x00 was not included in kernel 2.6.23.
The initial release in 2.6.24 had adhoc mode disabled because it was kn= own
to be broken, apparently that patch was missing from the version your d= istro
included.

I would recommend grabbing either wireless-testing.git or rt2x00.git which contains
the latest version of rt2x00 where adhoc mode has been enabled again (for testing).

Using 2.6.24 or 2.6.25 won't help since adhoc is disabled in both kerne= ls.

Another option would be using the legacy drivers which can also handle = adhoc and
support older kernels.
