Description Heiko Rommel 2005-12-05 10:39:20 UTC 
When using a pre-shared key in WPA that contains shell meta characters (e.g. ')') ifup-wireless does not work.

I think this is major since WPA is the only secury WLAN access method supported by SUSE Linux 10.0 and even that does not work with good passwords!

Hint:
The eval expression used is not quoting save.
A patch is attached.
