    Add new iw module for wireless to supersede iwconfig
    
    For Open, WEP and ad-hoc, iw is the current control tool for modern
    mac80211 based wireless devices.
    
    This module is 100% compatible with the net/iwconfig.sh syntax but
    updates the commands and detection
    
    Also updates documentation about how to use this module
