Thank you, this is what I expected.
Eyeballing these device directories from both laptops side by side did not
reveal anything that could be used to distinguish wifi7 from earlier
versions, but maybe I missed something.
These tests would happen only if the interface does not support legacy
wireless extensions (wext). The logic would be (pseudo-code):
if $interface supports legacy wireless extensions (wext)
type = supported_wireless
else if /sys/class/net/$interface/wireless exists
or /sys/class/net/$interface/uevent contains "DEVTYPE=wlan"
or /sys/class/net/$interface/type = "801" (802.11)
type = unsupported_wireless
else
type = wired
