HW crypto in rt2500usb does not seem to support keys with different ciphers,
which breaks TKIP+AES mode. Fall back to software encryption to fix it.

This should fix long-standing problems with rt2500usb and WPA, such as:
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4834
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484888

Also tested that it does not break WEP, TKIP-only and AES-only modes.
