/usr/sbin/iwconfig is part of wireless-tools. Vladimir, is this yours?
Yes. It is. I understand the problem but iwconfig is going to be replaced with iw [1,2] . NM shall be working with this. In the scripts it would be good to use iw for future compatibility. Jon, if there are no serious objections can I close it here as WONTFIX ?
