try insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -p 1
insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -n 131.252.208.141
assuming "131.252.208.141" is your network name, which I doubt. You need
to find out your network name. BSS is -p 1, such as a Apple Airport and
other AP products. If you're talking to another wireless card (sitting in
a Linux/BSD box), it's probably IBSS mode, -p 3. You can only run one
switch for wicontrol (along with -i, wi0 is the default).

If the network is running DHCP, you shouldn't need to specify one.

Looks normal.

As noted above, I HIGHLY doubt your network name is an IP address. It's
probably something like "CS-Lab".

Run -p before -n

Not required

Broken, not useful/effects your net connection.
