For anyone who's interested I finally got it to work. After some more digging, I realised that it was dhcp problem as I was trying serve on that interface.

iwconfig gave me wifi0 and wlan0 - which got me thinking.
I looked at modprobe.conf and changed the alias from wifi0 to wlan0, then looked at ifcfg-wifi0. Renamed it to ifcfg-wlan0 and then changed the line DEVICE=wifi0 to DEVICE=wlan0 and rebooted.
On reboot all was well?? No error messages in logs....
DHCPD working on wireles and wired interfaces and serving ok.

Hi, I'm certainly interested in how you got this to work, but I'm afraid I can't quite follow your hints. Which files were edited and what changes were made?

On my Debian system the only modprobe.conf file is related to ALSA. Did you mean dhcp.conf, because that has an alias line. I understand you're not using Debian, but I was hoping to be able to follow your directions and 'translate them', so to speak, as I can't find any information elsewhere about people having solved this error message.

iwconfig for me returns wlan0 and wmaster0, but wlan0 is the 'real' wireless interface, and I have no idea why wmaster0 is even created.

Many thanks,
