Description Alexander Tsoy 2017-12-26 08:54:08 UTC

net-wireless/wireless-tools is an optional runtime dependency needed only for really old wifi adapters. I don't even have Wireless Extensions enabled in my kernel and laptop-mode-tools works perfectly with net-wireless/iw (see /usr/share/laptop-mode-tools/modules/wireless-power). I think is is safe to assume that correct wireless tool is already installed on the system.
