DESCRIPTION = """External app (original) backend

This backend uses external program calls like ifconfig and
iwconfig to query network information.  This makes it a bit
slower and more CPU intensive than the ioctl backend, but
it doesn't require any third party libraries and may be
more stable for some set ups.
