While reading the wifi doc , I see

You need to install the wireless-tools package on your system.

The manpage doesn't give information as to what is really used behind, all I can find is:

   W      Show/hide Wifi module

And the WiFi plugin doesn't show up in my glances terminal view.
Unfortunately, I cannot find such wireless-tools package from arch linux repositories nor from aur:

$ yay -Ss glances       
community/glances 3.1.3-2 (981.9 KiB 6.8 MiB) (Installed)
    CLI curses-based monitoring tool
$ yay -Ss wireless-tools

Can you tell us what is the tool used for the plugin, rather than the package containing the tool in some distribution package manager?
Thanks in advance!
