I have the following:

#file: /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=2
network={
        ssid="My_SSID"
        scan_ssid=1
        psk="My_secret_pwd"
}

and my /etc/rc.conf  contains:
<snip>
dhclient=YES
ntpdate=YES              ntpdate_hosts="ntp.gal.dk gps.dix.dk"
wpa_supplicant=YES       wpa_supplicant_flags="-B -irum0
-c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
<snip>

As my rum0 is a USB stick, which sometimes is there, sometimes not,
my rc.conf is actually a bit more complicated.

I may send you the more complicated one, if you wish
