Please re-read that README (requirements):

        Host AP driver for Prism2/2.5/3 (development snapshot/v0.2.x)
        in Managed mode ('iwconfig wlan0 mode managed'). Please note that
        station firmware version needs to be 1.7.0 or newer to work in
        WPA mode.

That's too old firmware version, you will need to update it to 1.7.x or
newer for WPA.
