Does iwconfig show a wireless interface?

$ /sbin/iwconfig 
wlan0     IEEE 802.11abg  ESSID:"my-name"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462 GHz  Access Point: 44:...
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm   
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=64/70  Signal level=-46 dBm  
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:6  Invalid misc:794   Missed beacon:0
