Hello,

Multiple people report[1] that /proc/net/wireless has gone missing in 6.13.

Many utilities/applications depend on this file presence.

Please restore it as the kernel mustn't break userspace [interfaces].

Support for /proc/net/wireless is still present in the kernel. However, in the GitHub issue
referenced by the bug report you linked, user 'clnhub' noted that Fedora has removed wireless
extensions (wext) support from their 6.12+ kernel builds [1].

You can still build it into the kernel by enabling 'WIRELESS_PROC' in your configuration.
