<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">An analysis of the differences, improvements, maybe possible shortcomings of iw versus wireless-tools would be nice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Basically, this says that iw is simpler to use than wireless-tools various commands.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">It is unclear to me if iw functionality matches wireless-tools functionality or maybe surpasses it, maybe someone else has info on this?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">On my Ubuntu 13.10 dev machine, wireless-tools and iw are both installed by default (I might be wrong here, maybe I installed them some time ago by hand).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I read in couple of threads that iw is replacing wireless-tools in linux wireless world and people recommending replacing wireless-tools with iw in oe-core. I did not see it happening. Here I am starting this thread to discuss this so that
we can make the decision and replace these two recipes with each other. Comments?<o:p></o:p></p>
