[Nix-dev] EeePC wireless interface no longer recognized by iwconfig

you are right, "iw dev wlp1s0 scan" does what I want. Thank you.

Now, wireless-tools comes with a library that some programs us to query
the status of the wireless network. Xmobar, for example, can display the
currently connected ESSID. Iw appears that iw doesn't offer such a
library?

Take care,
Peter
