you can try to use "wpa_passphrase" command , that generate the network
profile for you Acces Point, copy into wpa_supplicant.conf and reboot the
device.   works for me, when a  trie to connect a AP with WPA encryption .

ej:

wpa_passphrase AP_id  password :

that generate -->

network={
  ssid="AP_id"
  #psk="password"
  psk=993142399374b6d582da81a6d4887ef7a9283a0e00dd4678681aac5e0a2478e9
}

copy into  wpa_supplicant.conf.
