Experimenting in system-config-network I changed eth0 to wlan0, but ifup
wlan0 gives the same errors.
Running system-config-network sets up network not NetworkManager. In my config
for eth0 I only have:
"# Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet
controller
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:18:F3:8A:F3:D6"
The rest is set up by NetworkManager. In
/var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-<big number>-eth[0,1].lease you'll find the find the
set up info.
ifcfg-wlan0
# Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
ONBOOT=yes

NM_CONTROLLED=yes
USERCTL=yes
PEERDNS=yes
IPV6INIT=yes

(the firmware is installed)
ifcfg-eth1
