I am making a huge guess here that there might be different versions of linux out there that have different cmd's or I am just barking up the wrong tree on all of this?

You can use NDB to call most of the same actions as NickelMenu, including stuff like Wifi management.

Documentation is here, specifically, look at the qndb portion of that page. Then look at the API documentation to find out what methods to call.

For Wifi, there is currently wfmConnectWireless wfmConnectWirelessSilently wfmSetAirplaneMode methods available. You'll probably also want to listen for the wmNetworkConnected and wmNetworkFailedToConnect signals as well.

This is completely untested, but the following might work:

#!/bin/sh

signal=$(qndb -s wmNetworkConnected -s wmNetworkFailedToConnect -t 60 -m wfmConnectWireless)

# Note, It's been a while, this may be wrong, I'll double check later
if [ "$signal" = "wmNetworkConnected" ]; then
    # connected, do stuff here
elif [ "$signal" = "wmNetworkFailedToConnect" ]; then
    # did not connect, do cleanup here
else
    # timeout happened
fi

If you search for help on creating/running linux shell scripts, search for 'POSIX shell', or 'busybox'. Avoid answers that are considered "bash specific".
