The link status events come directly from the firmware.  The driver
doesn't filter out any such events.  Apparently the firmware doesn't
report link status changes in the Ad-hoc mode.  One the other hand, it
would probably be meaningless anyway.  There are no links as such and no
association/dissociation.
