Here's how I do it...

#!/bin/bash

CONNECTIONNO=1

while gconftool-2
--dir-exists /system/networking/connections/$CONNECTIONNO; do
      CONNECTIONNO=$((CONNECTIONNO+1))
done
echo Connection number $((CONNECTIONNO))
TIMESTAMP=`date +%s`
UUID=`cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid`

gconftool-2 --load - <<EOF
