Marvell used to provide their own wpa_supplicant driver file, you can
find it "out there" somewhere.  I can 100% guarantee you that you cannot
do WPA with the marvell reference driver with the -Dwext option.

When I last worked with it (this summer) the reference driver was pretty
broken when used with wpa_supplicant.  I think Marvell has their own
supplicant.
