Store a file with the following format:

priority,ssid,security,key

Step The First: Write code that just reads this file and performs a connection Step The Second: Write code that can update the file

1. Build file with connection information
2. Create the automatic stuff
3. Connect

Ok, hold your horses... You are reinventing the wheel, I think. First, let's figure out why netctl and wifi-menu weren't enough to get the job done.

Also, the entire script is dumb anyway. So, if we assume that netctl and wifi-menu -o will work, then maybe this should be refactored differently:

#!/bin/bash

if [ `pacman -Q1 netctl` -eq 1 ]; then
    echo "=====> Installing networking tools"
    pacman -S --needed netctl iw wpa_supplicant wpa_actiond dialog ifplugd
fi

wired=`iw dev | awk '$0 ~ /Interface/ { print $2 }' | egrep '^en'` # FIXME: UNTESTED!
if [ ! -z "${wired}" ]; then
    echo "=====> Setting up ethernet connection"
    # TODO: cp /etc/netctl/examples/ethernet-dhcp /etc/netctl/default
    # TODO: edit that file to be correct
    systemctl enable netctl-ifplugd@${wired}.service
    systemctl start netctl-ifplugd@${wired}.service
fi

wireless=`iw dev | awk '$0 ~ /Interface/ { print $2 }' | egrep '^w` # FIXME: UNTESTED!
if [ ! -z "${wireless}" ]; then
    echo "=====> Setting up wireless connection"
    ip link set dev ${wireless} up
    wifi-menu -o
    systemctl enable netctl-auto@${wireless}.service
    systemctl start netctl-auto@${wireless}.service
fi
ping -c 3 www.google.com
exit $?

The current script really gets the job done so I'm closing this
