Different problem entirely.
When run under cron none of the system environment variables are setup.
Consequently the chances are your script has no idea what 'system_profiler'
is.
Try changing the do shell script line to say:
do shell script "/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPNetworkDataType | awk blah
blah"
