I have an old computer I sometimes run as a server downstairs which I
have set up on the home WPA2-PSK network. Give me 10 or 20 mins to
start it up (it's sloooooowwww) and I'll check how I've done it, iirc
I used some kind of settings in /etc/network/interfaces.

We have a passphrase on our network - are you looking to use a
passphrase or just an ASCII or HEX key?
