I currently have a sponsoring request for iw pending[1] in order to 
adapt to the libnl3 mini-transition (FTBS), which means I don't want 
to change the pending package "silently". However I will add this as 
soon as this clears up (iw 3.3 is likely to get released upstream 
shortly after the merge window for kernel 3.3 closes).

In case you'd like to sponsor it instead, I've prepared an iw package
containing the new Recommends at[2] (the only change relative to [1]
is the additional Recommends on crda).
