Unable to connect to internet

I have a ASUS mini laptop that I didn't use for more than a year. Now when I start, I am unable to connect to internet. This does not have a hard drive. The error is "wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801" and "DHCPDISCOVER on ath0 to 255.255.255 port 67 interval 6"

are you sure that wifi hardware switch is turned on?

Welcome to LQ!
