As others have pointed out, wmaster0 is likely an alias to the wifi
interface.

The error seems to be saying that the driver and the hardware aren't
talking to eachother for some reason.

The DHCP messages remind me of something I saw not too long ago with my
FON accesspoint: the AP overheated.  Could your wifi card have
overheated?  Have you tried a cold reboot after a little power-off down
time?
