That section does not include drivers/net/wireless/

I believe John Linville isn't maintaining all the
wireless drivers, he's acting as a gatekeeper in
a similar role as DavidM for drivers/net/.

The patch above means scripts/get_maintainer.pl can
use the linux-wireless@vger list email address for
any change in driver/net/wireless/
