Make ad hoc network on boot up

[BWill15]

I wan't to start a startup script. I followed http://http//stackoverflow.com/questions/12973777/how-to-run-a-shell-script-at-startup this tutorial:

1. # !/bin/sh
2. ifconfig wlp1s0 down
3. rfkill unblock wlan
4. iwconfig wlp1s0 mode ad-hoc
5. iwconfig wlp1s0 essid GalileoNetwork
6. iwconfig wlp1s0 channel 10
7. ifconfig wlp1s0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

When I execute it manually it doesn't work the first try.

root@galileo:/media/card# /media/card/startup.sh

A second try:

How do I make sure I have a working connection on startup?

I think that using some bash programming at startup, i.e. execute startup.sh until you have the connection "up and running"

HTH,

How do I check if "wlp1s0" is "ready" in a shell script?

You mean to check that wlp1s0 is enabled after running the startup script? Take a look at cat /sys/class/net/wlp1s0/operstate.
