I had a rt2500 card (PCI version) running for a while in a Ubuntu domU.
As an accesspoint it would only work in ad-hoc mode with WEP though (no
managed mode, no WPA).

I'm not familiar with module-assistent, I build my dom0/domU kernels
from source, with the rt2500 driver from http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/

Did you exclude the pci device from dom0, in other words, do you have
"pciback.hide=(pci number)" in your /boot/grub/menu.lst?

Also, what _exactly_ doesn't work? When you execute `modprobe rt2500`,
what does it say (on screen and/or in /var/log/syslog)?

Basically, from your description the problem could be in:
 1. Xen not properly exporting the PCMCIA device
 2. something wrong with the kernel module in domU
 3. improper configuration of the card in /etc/Wireless/RT2500STA
