Clearly you don't _have_ any such devices.  Run "ifconfig" and see what
devices it lists.  At a guess, I'd suggest your wireless is actually on
eth1.  Check out /etc/iftab for a way to ensure that a NIC always comes up
with the same interface name.

If ifconfig doesn't list anything that could be a wireless interface, your
wireless nic is probably either broken or turned off.
