Hello
Since i already have done this for dd-wrt for mac80211 i can tell you,
its not easy but possible. the most easy way for broadcasting a custom IE
is just adding a custom IE with its properties to the hostapd
configuration. it does allow to set such properties
so you dont need to change anything in mac80211 which requires some evil
hacks

I've been trying to implement Mikrotik IE. It is a vendor IE that
carries stuff like radio name. Even though it is Mikrotik specific, UBNT
has a patch for madwifi:
https://github.com/jhairtt/ubnt-hal-0.7.379/blob/master/patches/madwifi-dfs-r3319-20080201/074-mtik-ie.patch
The IE is sent in beacon and assoc/reassoc frames. I think the correct
place for this is mac80211, but I'm not sure how should I expose a
switch to this functionality. Is there something like ioctl, or do I have
to implement a switch in nl80211, then in cfg80211 and then finally in
mac80211?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
