Could you post your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0? It 
may help us solve your error. But I do not think that is what is 
causing the problem. What type of security is your modem/router set 
up to use? (WEP/WPA/none) If you do not set up the wireless card to 
use the same security, and/or if you are not using the managed mode 
on your wireless NIC, you are going not going to get a DHCP lease.
