Good to hear.

Change wireless-essid to wpa-ssid, then call ifup with the -v (or --verbose)
option to examine the commands being executed.

You can omit this, wpa_supplicant defaults to the wext driver backend if not
specified.

Surrounding the PSK/passphrase with quotes is optional. The
wpa_key_check_and_set() function used by wpa_supplicant's ifupdown scripts will
strip them anyway.
See also "Troubleshooting" in /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz,
especially if you are attempting to connect to a network with a hidden SSID.
