With 'apt-get --purge remove iw'
Then it seems wireless-tools is kept in the developer tools repository, so take a look at http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...5#Installation for instructions on enabling this repository.
Once that's done, apt-get update again and then apt-get install wireless-tools

No probs, and no, you need open your package manager and add the freemantle tools repository to it using the instructions in the link I gave earlier.
Once that's been added, apt-get will be able to find the wireless-tools package, which contains iwconfig.

okay cool, once it's added, close the application manager and type 'apt-get update' and then 'apt-get install wireless-tools' into a console
