"network" service fails to set wireless parameters.

[Björn Persson]

I have a Wifi card that is supposed to be managed by the "network" 
service. The interface's IP addresses, prefixes, routes and all that get 
assigned correctly on boot, but the wireless parameters – mode, ESSID 
and channel – do not get assigned. I have to set those manually with the 
iwconfig command.

I've had this card working before, but I've hacked the ifcfg file since 
then. (I've had lots of networking problems since I installed Fedora 17, 
so I've been editing the configuration a lot.) It's possible that I've 
missed something, so before I file a bug report I wanted to ask: Does 
anyone see anything wrong with the ifcfg file below?
