Wireless script at startup

abarone77 · 06-09-2013, 01:28 AM

Hi,

I made a script in order to connect to my wireless network as follow

Code:

#!/bin/bash
ifconfig wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
dhclient  -4 -nw wlan0

and this script works fine when I execute it on terminal
but I want to make it run at startup.
What I have done so far were:

copy to /etc/init.d/script.sh
run the command

Quote:

update-rc.d script.sh defaults

and edit rc.local :

Code:

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
script.sh
exit 0

but I have no success so far.

my distro is Ubuntu 64bits 13.04

thanks,

I solved this issues by putting the commands on /etc/rc.local

Quote:

ifconfig wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
dhclient -4 -nw wlan0

Code:

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
#/etc/init.d/script.sh 
ifconfig wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
dhclient  -4 -nw wlan0 
exit 0
