I can rename them if that helps.

The WPA1 and WPA2 IE are uses a different OUI for basically exactly the
same thing.

I can just update the print_cipher to handle wifi_oui and 80211_oui with
the same details. Would that be good enough. Than we also don't need the
OUI passing here.

The specification says that the only mandatory field is the version and
after that everything else is optional and falls back to default
TKIP/TKIP. At least that is what I read of it.

Since iw is just printing the actual IE, I don't think we should be
bothering here with code duplication. We can just print what the element
actually contains. If for some weird fucked up AP, has 11w inside WPA1,
then I actually wanna have iw print that :)
