** Description changed:

  Wireless Extensions support in the kernel has been deprecated[1] for a
  long time now. wireless-tools[2] userspace utility should be removed.
  iw[3] is considered as the alternate.

  tools/+bug/2068612
  
  debian-installer (and Ubiquity) have a dependency on libiw via netcfg.
  It unlikely that ubiquity will be removed from 24.10. Let's remove the
  userspace tools for 24.10.
