I had the feeling (am not 100% sure), that adding wireless-tools to image made 
my wlan work under networkmanger control - will do some tests on that. 

FYI: networkmanager has wireless-tools in DEPENDS but that is not enough to make 
wireless-tools into the image. 

How about wireless-tools in RDEPENDS for networkmanager?
