Well it appears that the sys tree may be missing /sys/class/net/${1}/wireless

Most people would not notice this issue untill you try to get a wireless NIC to
be correctly configures right after you plug it in.
Not sure if this is an architecture port issue, a kernel issue or a dockstar
specific issue but I changed that function towork around the problem:
All I can report is that on a GuruPlug with the built in wireless (running as an
access point), I have neither the /sys/class/net/wireless directory nor does it
show up with your check using iwconfig
