Wireless extensions (which wireless-tools was the frontend for) in the
kernel has been deprecated in 2007 and the remaining backwards
compatibility in the cfg80211 module has finally been dropped in the
early 2020s, so iwconfig (being part of wireless-tools) is finally also
gone from the ubuntu archive for good, iwconfig has been replaced with
the iw tool for quite a while now ...
