don't think theres a switch to permanently add it, but whats wrong with 
hashing the password and making a launchd item or a casper policy for 
login??

I have been able to bind using airport -A but rebooting the system reverts 
it back to not knowing the password.  Did I miss a step?  (This is 
currently on 10.4.8).

[Casper] Changing wireless settings across a number of systems




We've got a test lab of systems that I'm trying to change the wireless 
settings on.  We are changing from a problematic PEAP setup to a PSK 
environment.  Systems are configured with Parental controls and Simple 
Finder.  They are unable to change anything in the Control Panel shy of 
the screen saver.   Building a package to be deployed by Casper grabs the 
system.keychain file which is bad news for all of our existing systems as 
pushing a package with this seems to put the target machine in a very 
difficult to remove loop of removing the keychain, and manually adding in 
the settings physically on the machine.

Anyone found a way to get around this?  I'd basically need to push 
wireless settings across the command line with a script that uses that 
password with networksetup or find a way to push the item into the 
keychain from SSH.

Something like step 4: here has potential except for the fact that it must 
be run as the currently logged on user and our lab user cant access the 
Network settings.

Thanks in advance!
