I wouldn't mix wireless- and wpa-, drop wireless-essid and set

wpa-ssid home

try also setting (depending on your ap config) eg:

wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-scan-ssid 0
wpa-ap-scan 1

the net-setup script should handle it - from 
  /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz:

NOTE: the 'wpa-psk' value is only valid if:
        1) It is a plaintext (ascii) string between 8 and 63 characters in
           length
        2) It is a hexadecimal string of 64 characters

but, in case, check wpa_passphrase(8).
