Hello,

Description: tool for configuring Linux wireless devices
This package contains the `iw' tool which allows you to configure and
show
information about wireless networking.
.
In the future iw will become the canonical command line tool for
wireless
configuration and iwconfig/wireless-tools will no longer be required.
See
/usr/share/doc/iw/README.Debian for a more detailed overview of iw.
Homepage: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw
Tag: implemented-in::c, network::configuration, role::program,
use::configuring
so it exists, but for now this isn't installed by default.
Best regards
Uwe
