Bug#697890: installation-reports: iwconfig not in /sbin



Yes, indeed !

It's about wheezy-xfce (testing - build cd binay-1 20121217-05:10).

During installation I got a  ~"missing rt28xx" message and was asked to provide a "floppy" with the firmware. Answered "no" and proceeded with installation. As such the installation is OK, but it looks there are missing pieces or some access rights / configuration problems (see also #697331, #697327).

Having found a fix (not the best solution) for #697331, #697327 I wanted to configure the WiFi device. I added
  deb http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free
in /etc/apt/sources.list
and installed firmware-ralink (v 0.36)

Then I started the xfce "network manager" (parameters -> network connections), filled in required information and wanted to check the status with iwconfig.

Could only find this :

root? 
root? find / -xdev -iname *iwconfig*
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/iwconfig
root?
