How to setup wifi in Orange Pi Zero?

Snake

Hello, I have an Orange Pi Zero with raspbian installed and I'm trying to setup the wifi connection but I got stuck.

I managed to create wpa_supplicant.conf with my SSID and PSK but when I try to connect typing "wpa_supplicant -D nl80211 -i wlan0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf" or "wpa_supplicant -D wext -i wlan0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf" it always get stuck.
My psk has special characters, so I generated wpa_supplicant.conf with this command: wpa_passphrase MySSID < ~/MyPSK.txt > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Can someone help me?

I was having no success setting up the wifi until I hit this thread (http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/11631/how-to-setup-multiple-wifi-networks/11738#11738)
Here's my working config...

the critical component was pairing up id_str="mywifi" with iface mywifi inet dhcp. Until I did that it would connect but wouldn't obtain an ip address.

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

1. 
   
2. network={
   
3.    ssid="myssid"
   
4.    scan_ssid=1
   
5.    mode=0
   
6.    proto=WPA2
   
7.    auth_alg=OPEN
   
8.    pairwise=CCMP
   
9.    group=CCMP
   
10.    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    
11.    psk="mypassword"
    
12.    id_str="mywifi"
    
13.    priority=1
    
14. }

/etc/network/interfaces

3. auto lo

6. allow-hotplug wlan0
