Filtering would be trivial with any of the methods mentioned so far for known
frames (e.g., just filter with oui==[OUI] && type==[type]). Vendor specific
handling could obviously make things cleaner in future, but it would require
more work for new IEs.

That would certainly be easiest for now.. ;-)
As far as cleaning up packet-ieee80211.c is concerned, there would certainly be
number of places that could use both small and large redesign.. I haven't yet
wanted to start working on this since I have no idea how many pending patches
people have on the file (the cleanup things I'm thinking of would likely
conflict with any such pending work) (and also, I don't really have too much
extra time available to do that cleanup either..).
