Xmobar depends on the netlink [1] Haskell library for the Wireless
functionality. Unfortunately this library seems to be unmaintained,
that's why we haven't packaged it for Debian yet. We need someone to
step up and adopt this library, if we are to package it for Debian and
enable the Wireless functionality of xmobar.
