OK. I really thought nobody was using it, but we can of course revert it for Fedora's benefit, it's optional anyway.
FWIW, for most drivers you could check if the sys/class/net/$1/phy80211 symlink exists, but that doesn't work for older wext-only drivers (or say the crap Broadcom binary STA driver.)
Should I revert it and send it in my next pull request?
