I get this error when I reboot the system:

Aug 2 18:18:07    hostapd: ath1: STA 00:13:02:xx:xx:xx WPA: no PSK configured for the STA

When I go back to the wireless page and apply changes to the wireless adaptor without making changes, I can connect to the system.

For a workaround, is there a shell command I can execute on startup each time to apply the wpa settings again?

No shell command; for details see here:

I got around this problem temporarily by putting these two commands in my xml file under system. Hope this helps some people.

<shellcmd>killall hostapd</shellcmd>
<shellcmd>/usr/sbin/hostapd /var/etc/hostapd-ath1.conf</shellcmd>
