BAMT Edimax wireless adapter join wpa2 network

1

I have managed to get my Edimax EW-7811Un wireless adapter registered and the correct driver installed, but need some help getting it connected to my WPA2 PSK network.

BAMT is based on debian and I've tried following some of the raspberry pi tutorials with no luck.

My /etc/network/interfaces looks like this

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wpa-ssid myawesomeinternethotspot
    wpa-psk myunbreakablewpa2password
iface default inet dhcp

Is there something that i'm missing?
