Also, it doesnt come without reason when the wireless card operates in ad hoc mode, the only security mode it supports is WEP, though in infratructure mode, it can connect to WPA/WPA2 AP without any problem. Have a look at the page 39:

I can confirm this too as I did run wireless in ad hoc mode for long time in the past

ad hoc != hostap != ibss
