From commit 22bb1be4d27...:
"The /sys/class/net/*/wireless/ direcory is, as far as I know, not used
by anyone."
Can't have been much of an investigation as HAL uses these to determine
if a card is a wireless one. Without this option, you cannot get
wireless support in NetworkManager, stranding most laptops.
Change the default and mark it for future deprecation if you want to
get rid of it.
