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?
