That is what orinoco does.

It's slightly worse for non-WPA firmware on orinoco. They supply ssid
and supported rates in a structure, and don't give access to the
original IEs - so the driver has to reconstruct the approporiate IE as
best it can, so cfg80211 can export them (all in orinoco/scan.c).
