[Bug 2075850] [NEW] Stop shipping userspace wireless-tools tools

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ravi Kant Sharma (ravi-sharma):

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.
