[Bug 1299975] [NEW] wireless script checks wrong sys file

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

On Trusty (beta), while trying to diagnose an issue with the wireless
not connecting upon resume from standby, I discovered an invalid check
in '/usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/wireless'.  The script checks
'/sys/class/net/$1/device/enable' to see if the wireless device is
enabled, failing to perform any configuration if this sys file does not
exist.  That happens to be the case for me (intel wireless), which the
actual location is '/sys/class/net/$1/device/enabled' (enable ->
enabled).

Changing the script to use the correct location has not fixed my
wireless resume issue, but perhaps it is contributing to wireless issues
for others.  My wireless power-saving is correctly turned off upon
resume now, though (it would get stuck in power-saving mode sometimes).
