It is a bash script, to be nice to the list I posted the contents in pastebin

It seems that my wireless card is eth0 already, but it just isn't wanting to 
work.  I don't remember what I did but I managed to get my freerunner to do a 
scan on eth0 and work it just wasn't able to connect (all the APs it found are 
mac filtered and I didn't request to have its mac added yet) but when I am at 
home where I know it is able to connect (I was able to use wireless before I 
upgraded SHR-testing) it can't or I get a device not found.  All attempts to 
work with wlan0 gives me a device not found error no matter what, so further 
work on that is pointless.
