There indeed is an iw tool.
The thing is really as simple as -- userspace which is calling other wireless-utils directly (such as, but absolutely not limited to, wicd), will completely stop working after commit 24a0aa212e.
I am still convinced that 24a0aa212e needs to be reverted, and compat layer maintained for *much* longer than 2 years.
If wireless maintainers think otherwise, I'll send a revert request to Linus for consideration.
Thanks,
