$sudo wpa_passphrase mywifinetwork secretwpa2key >> /etc/network/interfaces
this added
wpa-ssid homezone
# hexadecimal psk is encoded from a plaintext passphrase
wpa-psk 000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f101112131415161718 191a1b1c1d1e1f
to interfaces

2- After doing this I added the following
$sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
Great tip -- not sure I can incorporate this into the original guide - but nice find none-the-less!!
