Description of problem:


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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install initscripts-6.20-1 RPM
2.  Use ifup to start the network loopback interface (./ifup lo).
	

Actual Results:  The following error was printed:

./ifup: line 231: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``'
./ifup: line 251: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Expected Results:  The network loopback interface should have been brought up.

Additional info:

The ifup script contains the following, around line 98:

#    FOUNDMACADDR=`LC_ALL= LANG= ip -o link show ${REALDEVICE} | \
       sed 's/.*link\/ether \([[:alnum:]:]*\).*/\1/'`

It should look like this:

#    FOUNDMACADDR=`LC_ALL= LANG= ip -o link show ${REALDEVICE} | \
#       sed 's/.*link\/ether \([[:alnum:]:]*\).*/\1/'`

There is a missing comment character on the second line.
