#you'll need to somehow have the file $HOME/wistate have whatever state your wireless#
#card is normally in when your computer starts up written to it at start up. my      #
#recommendation would be adding a line "echo 1 > $HOME/wistate" to your rc.local     #
#1 is equivalent to on, 0 is equivalent to off                                       #

#$HOME doesn't register as anything in python, so you'll have to input the full /home/user
#here; this is the file this program will be reading for wireless state. you can make it hidden by 
#naming it .wistate instead of just wistate...
FILE="$HOME/wistate"
#in both of these lines, here, replace eth1 with whatever your wireless adapter is called
