henrygd b115e2aa6a wifi(linux): skip nl80211 when no wireless devices are registered
Check /sys/class/ieee80211 before opening netlink sockets. Looking up
the
nl80211 family while cfg80211 is not loaded makes the kernel run
modprobe,
which loads the module on hosts without wireless hardware, or fails
again
on every poll when the module is unavailable.
