'11' is NOT a valid entry for -t. You probably want to leave it at its default. '0' is not valid for -p and is default for -c. If you are running 4.4 or stable, '1' is the default for -p although I just noticed that the man page has not been updated. You probably only want/need: #!/bin/sh /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -n IansWireless /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -k 0x1111111111 -v 1 /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i wi0 -e 1 R.
