When the RIC data element (RDE) is included in the IEs coming from userspace for an association request, its handling is currently broken as any IEs that are contained within it would be split off from it and inserted again after all the IEs that mac80211 generates (e.g. HT, VHT.) To fix this, treat the RIC element specially, and stop after it only when we find something that doesn't actually belong to it. This assumes userspace is actually correctly building it, directly after the fast BSS transition IE and before all the others like extended capabilities. This leaves as a potential problem the case where userspace is building the following IEs: [RDE] [vendor resource description] [vendor non-resource IE] In this case, we'd erroneously consider all three IEs to be part of the RIC data together, and not split them between the two vendor IEs. Unfortunately, it isn't easily possible to distinguish vendor IEs, so this isn't easy to fix. Luckily, this case is rare as normally wpa_supplicant will include an extended capabilities IE in the IEs, and that certainly will break the two vendor IEs apart correctly.
