With Fedora Linux 36, wireless-tools has been dropped due to lack of upstream support and being superseded by Linux kernel native UAPIs for over a decade. These APIs are generally available from the libnl3 library, which Wicked already depends on.

However, Wicked still depends on wireless.h from wireless-tools-devel (libiw-devel in openSUSE). Please migrate to libnl3 for these remaining cases.

Information for libnl3 is at: http://www.infradead.org/~tgr/libnl/

wireless: Remove dependencies on libiw-devel
78b43dc 
It was only used to determine if a interface name belongs to a
wireless interface or not.
Unfortunately netlink do not provide this info in the NEWLINK message,
But sysfs tell us if a interface has a wireless extension, once a
/sys/class/net/<ifname>/wireless directory exists.

Issue: openSUSE#910

wireless: Remove libiw dependencies
26fafe3 
Remove libiw dependency (since openSUSE#872)
used to detect wireless interfaces only.
Unfortunately `rtnetlink(7)` does not provide this info in the `NEWLINK`
message, so we're using sysfs telling us if an interface has a wireless
extension, once the /sys/class/net/$name/wireless directory exists
(issue: openSUSE#910).
