Script to wake up WiFi

Network wakeup script

By Jesús Mena.

This simple script wakes up WiFi in a Linux system which is power-saving, like Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi turns off WiFi adapters to save energy when WiFi signal is weak).

If you want this script to execute periodically add it to your crontab.

#!/bin/bash
if ! ifconfig wlan0 | grep -q "inet addr:" ; then
ifup --force wlan0
