Enabling Wireless Extension Tools#

Wireless Extension tools, such as 'iwconfig' and 'iwpriv' are required for configuring the driver. Make sure that the wireless extensions are enabled in the Linux kernel configuration file.

Enable these options in the kernel configuration file, re-compile the kernel, and cross compile the driver.
