No, that's wrong. The 'wireless' directory there is bound to disappear
since it's created by d80211. The sysfs interface is still subject to
discussion.

I think (but also subject to discussion) the way we'll want to do is
take note of the 'wiphy' link. But to do that globally cfg80211 will
need to be taught to create that link instead of mac80211 which requires
knowledge about netdevs in cfg80211 and we still haven't quite figured
that out.

For legacy devices not using cfg80211, the only way will be to invoke
legacy wext calls on them.
