Could you elaborate? Which Ubuntu version do you have and how did you 
install the driver? Is it the Wily kernel for 14.04 or something else?

In your script I don't see the WLAN passphrase, so unless you have an 
open network, the router might see the device connecting, but without 
the authentication it doesn't hand out an IP address. And for connecting 
to a WPA/WPA2 network you would also need wpasupplicant.

Usually the wireless network is configured with the network manager. If 
you really want to do it manually, you should better use the file 
"/etc/network/interfaces" to do that. But using network manager is much 
easier.
