==Merge proposal from original author of [[iwconfig]] & [[iwlist]]==
We should merge all the other stubs here, to avoid bloat and because the references used by one article are all but certainly going to mention at least one other tool. No sense rewriting the wheel on every page. Explaining these deeply interrelated tools in the same context would go a long way towards clearing up the complaints that the shorter pages associated with this project lack context, references, assertion of notability, etc. Any objections?

: I did it – or at least I've made a beginning...
: It's not really an article yet, I think. I just put the parts together, removed some redundancy and did a little polish here and there. Additionally, the structure is not the best, I think, and some of the texts on the individual tools seem(ed) to be barely more than a copy of the manpage (and maybe some shortening should be done..). So it might be a good idea if someone would at least have a look on the whole thing – also because English is not my native tongue...)--[[User:Speck-Made|Speck-Made]] ([[User talk:Speck-Made|talk]]) 21:42, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

== Deprecated toolset ==
Modern editions of the Linux (or GNU/Linux) distros use the "iw" suite, and "wireless-tools" (whose commands are described in this page) is no longer packaged. The current text at the top of the page, along with a "buried" "alternatives" section is too weak face the reality that wireless-tools is no more in several distros in 2019.
The text at the top of the page should not imply wireless-tools is a current, in use toolset, and it should strongly point to "iw" as the current substitute.
