wpa-psk has long been replaced with the ifconfig(8) wpakey option. wpakey passphrase | hexkey Set the WPA key and enable WPA. The key can be given using either a passphrase or a full length hex key, starting with 0x. If a passphrase is used the nwid option must be set prior to specifying the wpakey option, since ifconfig will hash the nwid along with the passphrase to create the key.
