|

| 30 | utility for wireless devices. It supports all new drivers that have been

| 31 | added to the kernel recently. The old tool
|

| 32 | <application>iwconfig</application>, which uses Wireless Extensions
|
---|
| 33 | interface, is deprecated and it's strongly recommended to switch to
|
---|
| 34 | <application>iw</application> and nl80211.
