No, that's not true, zd1201 doesn't [1] :) Has anyoen ever complained about that? In any case, tools iterate all netdevs and call some wireless ioctl to check if they are wireless, or check /proc/net/wireless (which is actually bad, but ...). Besides, WE never said that names have to have certain names.
