I have ifcfg-wireless, but no ifcfg-wlan0

#    NWID: Name of this machine on the network.  Hostname is default
#    FREQ: Frequency to operate on.  See CHANNEL
#    CHANNEL: Numbered frequency to operate on.  See FREQ

# ESSID need to be last : most device re-perform the scanning/discovery
# when this is set, and things like encryption keys are better be
# defined if we want to discover the right set of APs/nodes.
if [ -n "$ESSID" ] ; then
    iwconfig $DEVICE essid "$ESSID"
else
    # use any essid
    iwconfig $DEVICE essid any >/dev/null 2>&1

I've removed the mode to see if makes a difference and guess what.... it
didn't!
