Just to be sure --- you did use wpa_passphrase to generate the value
for the psk entry above, right? I mean, you didn't put the actual
plain-text passphrase in that field?

In the wpa_supplicant.conf file, you can just put the ascii string quoted in double
quotes, or the unquoted psk generated from invoking wpa_passphrase.
Look it up in the man pages.
