vendor IEs?

vendor IEs?

[Daniel Halperin]

Is there a compiled list of vendor-specific IEs out there?  Googling
didn't offer much help.

Thx

If you would like, feel free to peg them on the wireless.kernel.org somewhere :)

If I find such a list, I'll be happy to.  Right now I don't have
anything to add ;)

I'm not aware of any list, nor can there really be one since everybody
who has an OUI is free to define their own IEs.

That said, some of them are of course mostly standardised, like the WFA
ones for WPA, WSC/WPS and P2P for instance. I don't think there's a even
a comprehensive list of WFA ones though other than in what you get by
combining all those standards.

The most complete info I've seen is in the wireshark dissector, but even 
that is not very complete.

On that note, if you wanted to define a custom IE what would you do?
How did the WFA get an OUI?  Is there a Linux OUI?

I'd work with a vendor to get to use their OUI :-)

I'm not aware of a Linux OUI.
