[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] mac80211: remove error from detect script

I suppose the case when "wifi detect" is invoked but no phy exists on
the system (e.g. because the radio hardware is not installed - think USB).

In this case the entire /sys/class/ieee80211 is likely missing which
will cause "ls" to print a "No such file or directory" error.

Actually I do not really like that whole "for x in $(ls ...)" construct,
something like the following would save one fork and also not produce
errors:

for dev in /sys/class/ieee80211/*; do
    if [ -h "$dev" ]; then
         # do something with ${dev##*/}
    fi
done
