patch to use phy80211

When hal wants to determine whether a device is wireless or not, it looks up the 'wiphy' symlink that only existed in unreleased versions of cfg80211, mainline uses 'phy80211' now.

The attached patch fixes that, autoshit made it impossible to build on my system so it's not even compile tested.

    When hal wants to determine whether a device is wireless or not,
    it looks up the 'wiphy' symlink that only existed in unreleased
    versions of cfg80211, mainline uses 'phy80211' now.
