Have you considered using a select statement:

Code:
PS3="Please choose your configuration file :"
select prototype in $(....your code here....)
do
   if [[ -n $prototype ]]
   then
        echo "You selected $prototype"
        break;
    else
        echo "Invalid choice: $REPLY"
    fi
done

llc2_autoconfig

llc2_autoconfig(1)						   User Commands						llc2_autoconfig(1)

NAME

       llc2_autoconfig - generate LLC2 configuration files

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/llc2/llc2_autoconfig [-f]

DESCRIPTION

       The  llc2_autoconfig utility is used to generate LLC2 configuration files (/etc/llc2/default/llc2.*).  If there is no configuration file in
       /etc/llc2_default/, it detects all the available interfaces in the system and generates corresponding default configuration files.

       If there are existing configuration files in /etc/llc2_default/, it will check if those interfaces defined in the  files  still	exist.	If
       they  do  not  exist  in the system, it will set llc2_on in those files to 0. After this, it will detect if there are new interfaces in the
       system. If there are, it will generate configuration files for them.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -f	Erases all configuration files in /etc/llc2/default/.  Then detects all the available interfaces in the system and generates  cor-
		responding default configuration files. Use this option with caution.

FILES

       /etc/llc2/default/llc2.*        LLC2 configuration files
