So right now the libs I see from /usr/ that our new wireless tools may use is libnl and openssl (libgcrypt goes into /lib/ at least on my box), iw is already on /usr/sbin/ and crda can be moved to /usr/sbin/ if that makes everything peachy but just please note the udev rule will change location, which should be fine, it is just noted.
