Actually, in hotkey.sh we only need to see if the wireless is enabled, 
i.e. whether there is a wireless interface available at all, not its 
name. so perhaps something along the lines of 

    if [ -n "`iwconfig | grep -v '^$' | grep -v 'no wireless extensions'`" ]

but I am not sure this is much more elegant either. iwconfig(1) talks 
about /proc/net/wireless itself so we may as well stick to the source 
of the information :)
