[Solved] Tool for managing wireless networks.

Which tool is responsible for managing wireless networks in Q4OS Centaurus? I was surprised, when I entered iwconfig, and Konsole showed me - command not found.

For some reason IDK, you need to use sudo with it:

$ sudo iwconfig

otherwise, you get the infamous

$ iwconfig
bash: iwconfig: command not found

To help diagnose these types of issue I always install the package command-not-found and it will tell you either how to install an uninstalled package or tell you the path to the package is not available to your user.
If you install it you will need to run sudo apt-file update and also sudo update-command-not-found before it can tell you anything, I always install this on fresh installations.

"network-manager" is responsible, however you can anytime install "iwconfig" as well:
$ sudo apt install wireless-tools

Hmmm...maybe it isn't installed by default as q4osteam's post suggests, and I probably installed it time ago but don't remember doing it, either way, do as q4osteam says; install it first, then try again.

After installing wireless-tools, [sudo iwconfig] started to work. Thank you for help.
