Package: wireless-tools Version: 29-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: d-i patch Please consider the attached patch for your next upload.
It adds iwlist and iwevent to the udeb. Reason for this change is that the udeb is now no longer required for setting up wireless (netcfg includes the code needed to do that). But the udeb is still useful as an optional component for debugging, and for that purpose having the additional tools makes sense while size is less of a problem. I have considered also adding iwspy and iwpriv. iwspy does not seem useful in the context of D-I. I'm not completely sure about iwpriv. The patch also adds a Menu number, which means that it will be possible for users to select it from the list of "additional components" during an installation. Without that the udeb is basically invisible to users. TIA, Frans Pop
