Description of problem:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-wireless doesn't source the ifcfg-*
file passed to it by ifup. adding the following line at the beginning gets
it working:

. ${1}

I guess the right way to do this may be along the lines of:

. network-functions
CONFIG=$1
[ -f "${CONFIG}" ] || CONFIG=ifcfg-${1}
source_config



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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.configure a wireless interface with some iwconfig settings (ESSID, KEY)
2./sbin/ifup eth0



Actual Results:  The wireless settings are ignored

Expected Results:  ifup-wireless should set the specified options via iwconfig
