Agreed.

And agreed. wireless.h has this to say about SIOCGIWNAME:
#define SIOCGIWNAME 0x8B01 /* get name == wireless protocol */
/* SIOCGIWNAME is used to verify the presence of Wireless Extensions.
* Common values : "IEEE 802.11-DS", "IEEE 802.11-FH", "IEEE 802.11b"...
* Don't put the name of your driver there, it's useless. */
The proposed use here is against this and should not be applied.
SIOCGIWAP can be used to indicate association status and SIOCGIWTXPOW
can be used to indicate whether TX is powered which is quite close to
radio off indication.
