VyOS Beta, location of 'iw' changed in debian from /usr/sbin/iw to /sbin/iw
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Tested with: vyos-999.201702272137

the location of iw (wireless config) has changed in debian, it is no longer living in /usr/sbin/iw but rather has moved to /sbin/iw, therefor the wireless configuration fails not able to find the command.

Workaround: make a simlink from /usr/sbin/iw to /sbin/iw
