Much better now, but the ifup command still gives errors.

What are the contents of /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.wlan0?

For a static IP, it should be something like:

ONBOOT=yes
IFACE="wlan0"
SERVICE="wpa"
WPA_SERVICE="ipv4-static"
IP="192.168.0.111"
GATEWAY="192.168.0.1"
PREFIX="24"
BROADCAST="192.168.0.255"

For wpa, you also need /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf. See wireless-tools in BLFS for details.
