Don't know if this is works for you, but I do this:
root@openWrt:~# find /sys/|grep phy|grep wlan
/sys/devices/pci0000:01/0000:01:00.0/0000:02:00.0/net/wlan0/phys_port_name
/sys/devices/pci0000:01/0000:01:00.0/0000:02:00.0/net/wlan0/phys_switch_id
/sys/devices/pci0000:01/0000:01:00.0/0000:02:00.0/net/wlan0/phy80211
/sys/devices/pci0000:01/0000:01:00.0/0000:02:00.0/net/wlan0/phys_port_id
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/netdev:wlan0
....

You'll get a lot of output, but what you want is probably somewhere there,
i was lucky enough to get it at the top :)

I use this method to figure out other hardware stuff, like which USB host
did i connect that webcam to, and which disk controller has that drive and
so on.
The answer is usually always somewhere in /sys, my problem is mostly how to
grep properly to avoid spamming the screen too much.

For some machines this doesn't work for some reason, like some older router
I had with stripped down OEM firmware.
