PSK is precomputed from a passphrase for a specific SSID and passphrase

What difference does that make? A file which is

If you have several wireless networks you can keep your interfaces file
tidy and organised, not to mention that roaming mode won't work without

There's no need to run wpa_supplicant by hand - it integrates nicely
with ifupdown. You can simply put:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Please read /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.Debian.gz - you can find
all the answers there.
A couple of hints:
wpa-driver nl80211
wpa-conf
Thank you Brian and Raf-
I learned several things from both of you, and I really appreciate it :-)
It took me several hours with your help- without your help I would still
be struggling with it.
Turns out, Brian was right to warn me about making sure I was using the
correct interface- I was not.

If I boot the machine with the Ethernet connected, the system uses that
connection via eth0. If I unplug the Ethernet I then can't get the
