please (Reply-To is set, but I know many mailers mostly ignore that). Mine ignores it because I told it to because of all the misuse out there :-) I assume there is some nice interface ioctl that wireless interfaces support, and others don't, that could be used to apply to any random interface name (getting the list of interfaces is not an issue) and which would only work for 802.11 interfaces (even if it works for just most 802.11 it would be considerably better than what we currently have.) This is all very sane now. Run 'ifconfig -m', and then read ifmedia(4) and ieee80211(4), and then read the code for ifconfig where it grabs the supported media types list. Probably the ioctls in ieee80211(4) are a better choice than looking for 802.11-ish media types.
