If it is an open wireless network, then all you need is the SSID.  That
can be preconfigured at your place.  Realize that when you try to start
this up headless on your network that it will fail (unless you happen to
have the same SSID in open mode).

If there is security, then there is a premise "handshake" required that
will prohibit you from setting it up at your place and shipping it to
your son's.  You could at least get all of the utilities that you will
need loaded.  Then your son would have at least two options.  1) plug in
a keyboard/video/mouse and run wifi.sh locally.  No wired Ethernet
required (if you've preloaded all the utilities, firmware, latest
squeezelite, etc.).  or 2) use a cheap router (no wireless needed, just
DHCP) and plug in a laptop and the pi local.  You can SSH in to the pi
from the laptop and setup your usb wifi via wifi.sh again.
