There's an example of wpa_supplicant.conf setup here:

https://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/handbook/ConfigChromebook/

To keep you from having to dig through it:

in /etc/rc.conf:

wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP WPA"

In /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

network={
    ssid="blahblah"
    psk="passwordhere"
}

I realize this is a stripped-down version of what you already posted,
but it's the best suggestion I have, and the setup that worked for me
most recently.
