Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

iw is a new nl80211 based CLI configuration utility for wireless devices. Currently you can only use this utility to configure devices which use a mac80211 driver as these are the new drivers being written - only because most new wireless devices being sold are now SoftMAC.
