[PATCH] gnu: Add wireless-tools.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 325 bytes --]

There was a conversation on #guix today about wpa-supplicant possibly
needing wireless tools in order to work.  Well, I haven't tested that
yet, but I did write a package for the wireless tools.

I don't use the iw* tools a whole lot, so I didn't test everything, but
I did verify that the output of `iwconfig` looked okay.

Oops.  Left in an unnecessary `let` form.  Updated patch below.

I think it expects it to be in $PATH.

Excellent, please push.

I think we should add to the installation image, no?

Thanks!

So I guess we can either try to patch the source code to explicitly
refer to the wireless-tools in the store, or make wireless-tools a
propagated input?

Pushed!

That's a good idea.  Add to %base-packages?

I would either do nothing, or patch (with ‘wrap-program’) the
wpa_supplicant programs so they get $PATH right.

No, to the ‘packages’ field in gnu/system/install.scm.
Could you do that?
