    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.

Possibly you do have "iw" installed but did not find it because
"/sbin" is not in your user's PATH.

Cheers,
Andy
