Bug 875328

The network service fails to configure wireless specifics on wireless interfaces after upgrade to kernel 3.6.

The network service configures wireless specifics on the condition that it detects that a device is wireless based on presence of wireless under sysfs. wireless is no longer present in sysfs under kernel 3.6 so this condition fails:

[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 3.4.11-1.fc16.i686 #1 SMP Sun Sep 16 14:41:18 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[root@localhost ~]# ls -1d /sys/class/net/*/wireless
/sys/class/net/eth0/wireless
/sys/class/net/wifi0/wireless

[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 3.6.6-1.fc16.i686 #1 SMP Mon Nov 5 17:16:32 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[root@localhost ~]# ls -1d /sys/class/net/*/wireless
ls: cannot access /sys/class/net/*/wireless: No such file or directory

The sysfs based check was added in this initscripts commit:

http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/initscripts.git/diff/?id=af401fb40f6dd5139e8468dfe1bd3dafe40e8e93

If I revert that commit manually, the network service configures wireless specifics again for me under kernel 3.6.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q initscripts kernel
initscripts-9.34.3-1.fc16.i686
kernel-3.4.11-1.fc16.i686
kernel-3.6.6-1.fc16.i686

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure wireless devices to start under the network service
2. Upgrade to kernel 3.6
3. Boot
  
Actual results:
Wireless interfaces are not configured with wireless specifics at boot.

Expected results:
Wireless interfaces shoudl be cofnigured with wireless specifcs at boot as they were with kernel 3.4.
