Per the 802.11 specification, vendor IEs are (at minimum) only required to contain an OUI. A type field is also included in ieee80211.h (struct ieee80211_vendor_ie) but doesn't appear in the specification. The remaining fields (subtype, version) are a convention used in WMM headers. Thus, we should not reject vendor-specific IEs that have only the minimum length (3 bytes) -- we should skip over them (since we only want to match longer IEs, that match either WMM or WPA formats). We can reject elements that don't have the minimum-required 3 byte OUI. While we're at it, move the non-standard subtype and version fields into the WMM structs, to avoid this confusion in the future about generic "vendor header" attributes.
