I was surprised to run into Jean at the 2015 OVS Fall Conference last
November. He's spent the last few years shepherding OpenFlow
specifications though formalization and hasn't done any work in
wireless for a long long time. He also said he's extremely unlikely to
do any wireless stuff now or in the future :) So yeah, wireless-tools
is unmaintained.
