What do you mean when you say ifcfg-wlan0 is pointing to the MAC address? If you are using "HWADDR=<MAC address>", you still need the correct "DEVICE=<something>" statment.
The "DEVICE=<something>" statment in the ifcfg-wlan0 file is what determins what device is being set. If it is something like "DEVICE=eth0" instead of "DEVICE=wlan0", then you will get the type of errors you have reported. Here is one that works: DEVICE=wlan0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=no MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no WIRELESS_MODE=Managed WIRELESS_ESSID="AP_ROUTER" WIRELESS_ENC_KEY=1234-5678-6804-3A0D-BDCB-487E-00 WIRELESS_IWCONFIG="key restricted" NEEDHOSTNAME=no It is for a loptop cardbus card. For a built-in card, you would probably want to change ONBOOT=no to ONBOOT=yes. You may want to read the section in /usr/share/doc/initscripts-7.61.1/sysconfig.txt about ifcfg-<device> files.
