It's precisely identical to what Darren suggested (with the exception
of ssid, psk, and ap_scan setting (which you asked me to change):

 ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
 ctrl_interface_group=0
 eapol_version=1
 ap_scan=2
 fast_reauth=1
 network={
       ssid="Enteryour SSID Here"
       proto=WPA
       key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
       pairwise=TKIP
       group=TKIP
       psk="mypskgoeshere"
 }
