Public bug reported:

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        wpa-ssid "myessid"
        wpa-psk "......"

works.

This does not work:

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        wpa-ssid myessid
        wpa-psk ......

The failure is silent and can only be detected by entering wpa_cli and
observing the "4-way handshake failed" messages.  If it is impossible to
accept a wpa-psk that is not quoted, it should fail loudly in this case.

Title:
  If wpa_supplicant's wpa-psk option is not quoted in
  /etc/network/interfaces, it is silently accepted, parsed incorrectly
  and fails to authenticate
