[meta-oe] task-basic: include wireless-tools for distros featuring wifi

[Andreas Müller]

On image based on angstrom xfce-nm-image wireless-tools were missing (although
networkmanager has them in DEPENDS). 
Was it intended not to have them on distos supporting wifi?

I have to NAK this one, 'iw' has replaced wireless in the linux-wireless
world and having both doesn't make sense.

I had the feeling (am not 100% sure), that adding wireless-tools to image made 
my wlan work under networkmanger control - will do some tests on that. 

FYI: networkmanager has wireless-tools in DEPENDS but that is not enough to make 
wireless-tools into the image. 

How about wireless-tools in RDEPENDS for networkmanager?

I took a look at networkmanager configure.ac: 

| AC_MSG_ERROR(wireless-tools or libiw development headers >= 28pre9 not 
installed or not functional)

I seems better to have iw in dependencies there instead of wireless-tools. Will 
give that one a try.

For maiden image wlan works without change / wireless-tools. Sorry for the 
noise.
