There is no specific command to check the state of the wifi_drv. You can
execute the 'repos/dde_linux/run/wifi.run' run script for your target
machine and check the LOG messages. In case the driver does not find any
supported device or if it cannot load the proper firmware image it will
print a message and exit. Otherwise it will try to associate with the
configured network. You can then check the state by inspecting the
'state' report. You may toggle the 'verbose' and the 'verbose_state'
attribute in the 'wifi_config' to show some messages that will tell you
what is going within the driver.

(The same is true if you are running Sculpt instead of the afore
mentioned run script.)
