Please be assured that this is not the case here. the rt2500 driver does
simply not implement the interface (called wireless extensions in linux)
which network-manager expects and needs to work.

ifupdown (/etc/network/interfaces) just use plain the wireless-utils
tools, which only need a subset of the functionality network-manager needs
