Summary: DBTS 501839: don't use uname for iw{config,list,spy,priv}, just check for their presence 
Distribution: None
Originally reported in: Debian BTS
Milestone: None
Original bug number: 501839


Initial Comment:
* Completion for the commands iwconfig, iwlist, iwspy, iwpriv, [..]
  [..] depends on a uname of Linux.  While these commands indeed
  do run only on Linux, it seems better to simply check for the
  commands in question rather than the kernel in use.  That way, if
  the commands ever run on non-Linux systems, bash-completion will not
  need updating.  For instance, other systems have a "route" command
  which behaves similarly, though I do not know if the existing
  completions will work unmodified on it.
