Simply,
newton:~# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

irda0     no wireless extensions.

eth2      no wireless extensions.

eth3      IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:""  Nickname:"Prism  I"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated   
          Bit Rate:11 Mb/s   Sensitivity:1/3  
          Retry short limit:8   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=0/92  Signal level=134/153  Noise level=134/153
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Presumeably iwconfig will gradually be integrated into ifconfig.
