Wpa2 personal help

Can someone please help me. I'm trying to connect to a wifi network that is secured by WPA2 Personal. Can someone please give me an idiot proof guide. I've read the handbook but it doesn't seem to be working. I using BSD 8.2. It's very in convient to be hard wired
 
Make sure your wireless device driver is loaded in your kernel. Hopefully it's already in the GENERIC kernel. If it's not you can recompile a new kernel with the driver added or load it as a dynamic kernel module in /boot/loader.conf.

Add something like this to /etc/rc.conf
Code: 
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
wlans_ral0="wlan0" # replace ral0 with your device

Add something like this to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Code: 
network={
        ssid="YourSSIDHere"
        psk="YourPasswordHere"
}

# /etc/rc.d/netif restart or reboot.
 
I forgot to mention that it is an Airport Extreme router thing. Says my ssid is: abcd efg'h iasfgs. Would I put an underscore _ between each space and would I include the apostrophe?
 
A lot of thanks for advice:). I've read a huge amount of information, but didn't find an applicable solution. Your advice is really simple and it WORKS). I have tiny question, the command # /etc/rc.conf/netif restart doesn't work, # /etc/rc.d/netif restart works. Owing to you I've learned another one command.:stud
Many thanks one more time.
