how to automate/make script for network

[agustus]

hey, I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me how to generate a script that will run in Konsole (if possible autorun on startup) that will do as follows:

sudo -s
(prompt/wait for password)
iwconfig wlan0 essid "network"
iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK="password"
iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=TKIP
dhclient wlan0

if anyone knows how to automate that please let me know how to do it at the moment I have to enter all these each startup to connect my network

Is there any reason you can't use knetworkmanager?

I was using knetworkmanager, but I changed the drivers for my wireless card to enable me to crack WEP keys (just for the fun of it, its a home computer so not really any point to it) and the network manager doesnt seem to work anymore

To write a script open an empty file and start off with a shebang:

#!/bin/bash

Below that you can write copy your commands. Save it, make it executable (chmod +x /path_to_file/name_of_file) and execute it.
