It won't work with madwifi, period, because madwifi is for atheros
cards, not prism2.

You shouldn't use orinoco, either, thats for orinoco/hermes cards, not
prism2.

You need to install either wlan-ng or hostap.  If you want wpa_supp to
work, you'll need hostap.  You will also need modern firmware for the
prism2 card, read the docs, I don't use them so I don't know where to
get it offhand.

Experts in ancient Greek culture say that people back then didn't see their
thoughts as belonging to them.  When they had a thought, it occured to them
as a god or goddess giving them an order.  Apollo was telling them to be
brave.  Athena was telling them to fall in love.
