Thanks a lot. Yeah, this looks simple enough to fix, I'll try
to do that.
Note that I'm not sure if it is very usefull, because in most
cases, you should use iwgetid for that kind of job.

I think only ifrename was fully audited for return code,
because there is does matter. I suspect iwgetid is ok, unless you want
to be more specific about the error. I suspect other tools would
suffer the same problem as iwconfig.
