First make a new Network Location, DO IT NOW!!!

1. The 1st thing to do is to open System Preferences-> Network pane, the Location drop-down and select "Edit Locations".

2. Use the Edit Locations drop-down and click the + button to add a new custom named Location. After making this new custom named Location, then make sure that new location name is highlighted, click the okay button to close the Edit window.

3. Then in the network pane click on the 'Apply' button to save your new custom named Location.

Don't worry the new custom name Location will work exactly like the Automatic location. Doing this trick of making a new custom name location will fix a lot of networking problems. Good luck.
 
I Changed the location several times, and I am still experiencing the same event in the log.

This happened to

There's lots of links that point to those network problems with "hackintosh" setups, maybe because of 'not quite supported' wireless hardware, or no wireless hardware installed at all.

Which Mac model are you using?
Have you tried the old fix of simply reinstalling the OS X combined 10.7.3 updater?
 
I have an Imac early 2009,
I have reset the Firmware Password, reset the PRAM, erased the disk, installed OS X lion, installed the combo updater to 10.7.3, created a network location in the system preferences that has NO services - and I'm still getting this in my log

How often do those messages occur (once a second, once a minute, once an hour, etc.)?

Are you experiencing any problems with your wireless, or are you just concerned about those entries in the log file out of curiosity?

Log files contain a bunch of stuff, and seeing something akin to "Error: no something-something found, killing process" or "Warning: Assertion failed on port 123456, falling back to stone-age mode" don't necessarily mean that anything is wrong with your computer; in fact, those messages may be perfectly normal. Errors may not indicate anything wrong -- in fact, errors are encountered many times per second even when you're working on a perfectly-fine computer... it's just how those errors are handled by the processes that determine if anything's wrong.

For example, concerning AirDrop (which is Apple's drag-and-drop wireless sharing feature), your computer may find another computer on the network that doesn't support AirDrop. Your log file may contain entries such as:

Code:
12:34:56: Found: BSD member computer ID 12:34:56:78:90
12:34:56: WARNING: No promiscuous mode on wireless dev wan0 supported
12:34:57: ERROR: Cannot initiate AirDrop connection to 12:34:56:78:90: unsupported mode
12:34:58: FAILED ASSERTION on interface wan0 to 12:34:56:78:90... DYING

Despite the "WARNING" and "ERROR" and "FAILED" words in the log, the process is acting EXACTLY as it should be, and there really aren't any errors happening at all. It is simply a computer trying to make a connection to another computer, failing to do so (rightly), and erroring out gracefully. That's normal operation for a computer: try something, if it fails (for perfectly normal reasons), error gracefully.

In the case of AirDrop, a computer won't know if another computer supports it without trying to connect to it first. If the computer doesn't support it, that means that an error has occurred, but not an error in the sense of improper operation -- an error in the sense of "I tried, but failed to do this, so it doesn't support AirDrop, so let's just go about our business anyway."

So, are you seeing your logs FLOODED with those messages (which may indicate a potential situation), or are they sporadic, which would mean they're just fine and otherwise benign and an indication of proper operation?
 
These events occur several times per seconds, mainly when I am copying data and when I'm doing regular tasks on my computer (see attachment).

Unfortunately, the latest wireless firmware update for Imac does not support the early Imac 2009 model.
 
This network set up (attachment) and turning off IPV6 with this code in terminal

networksetup -listallnetworkservices
networksetup -setv6off Ethernet

The code was found here

Seems to stop the CSI Wireless P2P events in the log, so far.
