Network Manager.

If you insist on writing your own script, it should be feasible. Maybe
a case statement based on the SSID the access point provides?

If you use Network Manager, get rid of wlo1 and any other files for
interfaces other than lo. I don't know if NM will manage a USB
interface, though.

If you insist on writing your own scripts, I'd use a case statement
based on the SSID and an appropriate HERE statement for each interface.
Have those go to a file under /etc/network.
