Description of problem:
There appears to be a but in ifup-wireless that will not allow an open
wireless key to be set properly. The error appears on line 62 where
$KEY is in quotes. Removing the quotes fixes the problem.

If keys-eth1 contains KEY='open s:somekey' the wireless card won't be
configured properly. If it takes the form KEY1='open s:somekey' then
all is good.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Fedora/Redhat
2.Configure keys-eth1 with open wep
3.Bring the card up
    

Actual Results:  open wep not configured.

Expected Results:  open wep configured
