You are misunderstanding what I am asking for. I want to be able to
write the iw equivalient of:-
iface wlan0 inet static
wireless-essid Test
wireless-channel 7
Given that iwconfig is now deprecated (at least for new wifi interfaces)
at a minimum it would be a good idea if wireless-XXX used iw. I will
submit a bug to this effect.
