Issue #9779 has been updated by Orion Poplawski.

Wired:
    # cat em1/uevent 
    INTERFACE=em1
    IFINDEX=3

Wireless:
    # cat p1p1/uevent 
    DEVTYPE=wlan
    INTERFACE=p1p1
    IFINDEX=4

I also have an irda0 interface for infrared.  Looking at some distinguishing 
characteristics:

    # cat {em1,irda0,lo,p1p1}/type
    1
    783
    772
    1

No idea where these numbers come from.

uevent is the same:

    # cat irda0/uevent 
    INTERFACE=irda0
    IFINDEX=2
    
The address and addr_len are different too.  Not sure how useful that is.
