WEP key is entered as colon separated hex characters, i.e.,
99:88:ff:.

You can call your from from /opt/bootlocal.sh
That is the system startup script and runs automatically upon boot as root.

Or you could just copy-in those lines of your script into /opt/bootlocal.sh

If you decide to keep as a separate script then add the full path to the location of your script in /opt/bootlocal.sh.

If your script is not in your home dir then you will need to add it to the .filetool.lst for backup.

Also be sure your script is executeable, chmod +x your_script.sh

modprobe gives no response
but iwconfig should show the device, typically wlan0
Without the device, it is a no go.
Maybe try this

modprobe ndiswrapper preempt=no
