Please note that the Prism54 support in wpa_supplicant is not yet
complete and driver_prism54 is not really useful for real world at the
moment. In addition, Prism54.org does not yet support WPA in client
mode.

WPA?? Or did you mean to say EAP/MSChapv2?

You might be able to use driver_wext.c in wpa_supplicant to use the
Prism54.org driver in non-WPA modes, including IEEE 802.1X. However, I
have not tested this.
