[laptop-mode] [ipw module] 2.6.29 incorrect wireless detection

Hello,

The following line at modules/wireless-ipw-power is not working properly:

if [ -d $DEVICE/wireless -a -h $DEVICE/device/driver ]; then

It looks like at least at 2.6.29 there is no wireless directory... I
did not find anything unique in structure of a wired and wireless but
the driver has channels.

Maybe better to do iwconfig and check for wireless extensions?

Another issue...

Why doesn't ipw2200 has "iwpriv ethX set power Y" statement?

Thanks!
Alon
