Transferring it from Windows has left the CR/LF line endings on it. Those are invisible line end characters that are added to the original document on dos plataforms. Linux doesnt do that thing.

Solution 1 (copy it right):
- You can either copy the script using Linux, and copying it from the link provided in this post http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=RHSv9w8y wich its clear from CR/LF endings. (If you copy the colored version of the script, http://pastebin.com/RHSv9w8y it will cause problems, same as if you click on "Copy to clipboard)

Solution 2 (fix it):
- Or with the actual copy that you got on root@bt:~/Desktop, use this command to clean the document out of CR/LF endings:

cat wifix | sed '/\015/d' > wifix2

Then use:

sudo bash wifix2

Extra info:
- You can discover those characters using Geany instead of Gedit, just enable the next on Geany: View > Editor > Show Line Endings

I tried all the fixes you mentioned without success. Either received the same error or only the last 2 lines. I downloaded straight into Linux, and got the same error. I downloaded Geany (which is great - thanks). I tried using the default Gnome network package, but it was not great. I removed both it and Wicd, and just used wpa_supplicant at the command line with a config file, and set my laptop not to sleep, and so far that seems to work. I appreciate your efforts though.
