/etc/rc.d/network: bash script: how to find out, if there was an error

hello!

i want to write a bash script for my wireless lan. for this i need the information, if the network daemon has connected successfully or failed.
but there is a big problem: starting network success' every time, whether there was an error or not:

$ /etc/rc.d/network start
:: Starting network profile: 00wlan_home              [BUSY]
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device.
                                                                         [FAIL]
:: Starting Network                                             [DONE]
$ ls /var/run/daemons/
... network ...

can someone help me please? how can i realize  that "::Starting Network ..." also fails and the script returns an exit status 1?

thanks for your help, maybe we can improve the script. but i'm not a geek in bash!

try using netcfg to start the wireless profile, that should keep you happy until the new network scripts are unleashed... which won't have this problem.
