wireless setup script for 10.7.5

[speterson]

hello,

getting ready to reimage machines this summer and I'm running into a problem with my network script. i have a 10.7.5 vanilla image created with instadmg, and i have the scrip set to run at reboot as part of a configuration profile with casper imaging (version 8.7) (witch is what i had it set at with my 10.7.2 image and worked correctly). i go through the setup assistant and then log on it doesn't seem to work, ill include the script below, any ideas??

thanks for the help
