This is my script. Turning the radio off is left as an exercise for the
student. Please post your answer and we will grade it. :)

/* turn on the radio
 * This command activates the 802.11b interface
 *
 * The wireless NIC should be inserted in the PC Card slot
 */
say "Activating the wireless network card"
'@ ifconfig lan0 down'
'@ ifconfig lan0 delete'
'@ dhcpmon -t'
'@ route -fh'
'@ arp -f'
'@ dhcpstrt -i lan1 -d 0'
say "Wireless networking enabled"
return
