I'm going to move this to 'future'. It would be an addition to the book and nothing in the book no uses it. It is a simple build (not even configure, just make && make install). Users should be able to install this on their own if they want it.
sed -i "/INSTALL.*gz/s/.gz//" Makefile make make check make SBINDIR=/sbin install

This is not a substitution for wireless tools. There is one executable, iw, that has all the functionality of the several wireless tools, but at least pm-utils relies on the wireless tools format.
Other references that I have not checked out yet are lxpanel, wicd, seamonkey, firefox, and thunderbird.
I don't know why the mozilla packages would have anything to do with low level wireless though.
