This hangs for a while and exits.

Command not found. wlan0 is an interface, not a program.

Here is output of my few commands, maybe someone else can shed a light
on this:
 ip link show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode 
DEFAULT group default 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP 
mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 28:d2:44:d9:c1:33 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT 
group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 38:b1:db:5e:64:79 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff


as you see wlan0 is down.

ifconfig -a
