The first part with the zeros means 'match all MAC addresses,' and does exactly that.

Make sure that only root has access to that file by running chmod 600 /etc/hostapd/wpa_psk.



Now create a backup of hostapd's main configuration file, /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf, and keep it as a reference by running mv /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf.orig. Create a new hostapd.conf file and paste the following lines into it:How do I get my Linux operating system to read my access point?

Look up "ndiswrapper". Its basically a script that makes sure your wireless device is working with the OS. Just read up about it, its too convoluted to explain on Y!A.
