Closes: #2100. - wireless-tools package is being orphaned. https://bugs.debian.org/963896 . - We use Network Manager to manage network and don't use iw* tools from wireless-tools package. Network Manager itself does not need wireless-tools package to configure and manage Wi-Fi connections. This is seen on typical desktops. - FreedomBox service uses NM D-Bus API to scan for available networks. - Code does not refer to the tools iwconfig, iwevent, iwgetid, iwlist, iwpriv or iwspy. These are the binaries provided by the wireless-tools package. Tests: - After removal of the wireless-tools package, wireless scan functionality does not result in an error. - Not tested: Attaching actual Wi-Fi hardware and seeing the list of available Wi-Fi networks.
