[Help] wireless-tools

[crash16]

Hi

I removed by mistake the wireless-tools package from my beloved n900 and I can't install it back anymore. I tried with apt-get but it says that it couldn't be found.
Does anyone know how can I get it back?

Thank you.

I don't have it installed either...

dpkg -l|grep wireless

returns nothing.

So, why don't you provide us with some information on what your N900 is running? CSSU, stock kernel and what not?

Yep, and the situation doesn't change.
Is there any way to fix that problem, maybe someone have wireless-tools package saved somewhere and can upolad it?

I really need my n900 to work as hotspot in few days, anyone, anywhere?

And to be more specific, Im running my n900 up-to-date with cssu update.
