is /proc/net/wireless really gone?

Happy New Year everyone,

I am getting an error message on my status bar (which depends on
a manager called bumblebee-status). The message reads:

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/proc/net/wireless' 

This has been the case for weeks. I assumed the issue would go away
after subsequent updates but it persists. All the while, I cannot see
the state of my wireless connections via the status bar. 

I filed a bug report against bumblebee-status
(https://github.com/tobi-wan-kenobi/bumblebee-status/issues/1029).
 
The maintainer thinks my wireless driver has issues. I, therefore, filed
a corresponding report against the driver
(https://github.com/clnhub/rtl8192eu-linux/issues/111). 

According to the driver maintainer, Fedora deprecated "Wireless
Extensions" which is responsible for "/proc/net/wireless". While the
decision does not affect the operations of the wireless driver (because
I am able to access the internet through the device), tools
that query network status via "/proc/net/wireless" appear to be
affected.

I even have a related report againt the kernel
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2334171). What is the way forward? 
What is the alternative to "/proc/net/wireless"?  Perhaps, someone here
may have information that will be beneficial to the maintainers above.

Regards
Onyeibo
