Thanks for the help - I figured it out... it was operator error. The
evaluation board that I was using with the Marvell chip apparently just
needed another connector plugged in for power. Once I plugged that in, the
interface was available for me to bring up.

I am not sure about if 3.8.x kernel support marvel 8797 .
In my previous experience , when "ifconfig -a" show nothing about your
adapter , try another newer version driver
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/
maybe you can try compat-wireless
hope its be useful

Anyone have any ideas what else I could try? I'll try to contact the
manufacturer, but have a feeling that won't go very far...

Also, other USB to WiFi adapters work just fine. For example, I have one
that uses the rtl8192cu driver, and this one creates a wlan0 interface
automatically. Any ideas what would be causing this?

I have not done anything with udev yet... I read through the Wireless
netwrok configuration wiki, but didn't see anywhere on how to create the
interface.

I'm starting to read the wiki on udev, but is that too
