I think a line like
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
...or something similar is missing here.

Not that it matters syntax wise, but I typically don't indent the
lines "iface ..." which precede the interface details and treat
the "auto" lines as "main" items, like so:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid "[my network's name]"
wpa-spk "...and its password..."
That's also the convention in the man page examples, see man(5) interfaces.
Cheers
