Hello Noor, all, An analysis of the differences, improvements, maybe possible shortcomings of iw versus wireless-tools would be nice.
For a start: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw/replace-iwconfig Basically, this says that iw is simpler to use than wireless-tools various commands. It is unclear to me if iw functionality matches wireless-tools functionality or maybe surpasses it, maybe someone else has info on this? On my Ubuntu 13.10 dev machine, wireless-tools and iw are both installed by default (I might be wrong here, maybe I installed them some time ago by hand).

I did not see it happening. Here I am starting this thread to discuss this so that we can make the decision and replace these two recipes with each other. Comments?
