Description: tool for configuring Linux wireless devices
 This package contains the `iw' tool which allows you to configure and show
 information about wireless networking.
 .
 In the future iw will become the canonical command line tool for wireless
 configuration and iwconfig/wireless-tools will no longer be required. See
 /usr/share/doc/iw/README.Debian for a more detailed overview of iw.

Possibly you do have "iw" installed but did not find it because
"/sbin" is not in your user's PATH.

Cheers,
Andy

It's in the `iw` package (according to `dpkg -S =iw`),

`iw phy` should give you all that data and a lot more.


I do not find that command.  I did find "ip show", but it does not
provide the b/g/n category.

With a laptop running Debian 10, is there an easy way to determine
