wireless-tools and ethtool owns these files but are missing from the
system, ie MIA
That is not supposed to happen, but it is hard to tell who removed these
files, when and why. The etckeeper tool can help to track down such
changes.
Doing a reinstall does not recreate them, why?
Because these files are conffiles, and the admin is free to edit or
delete them; dpkg will respect these changes and not reinstate missing
conffiles, unless given the "--force-confmiss" option.
