This can be done from userspace. This is from nl80211.h: * @NL80211_CMD_SET_MGMT_EXTRA_IE: Set extra IEs for management frames. The * interface is identified with %NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX and the management * frame subtype with %NL80211_ATTR_MGMT_SUBTYPE. The extra IE data to be * added to the end of the specified management frame is specified with * %NL80211_ATTR_IE. If the command succeeds, the requested data will be * added to all specified management frames generated by * kernel/firmware/driver. * Note: This command has been removed and it is only reserved at this * point to avoid re-using existing command number. The functionality this * command was planned for has been provided with cleaner design with the * option to specify additional IEs in NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN, * NL80211_CMD_AUTHENTICATE, NL80211_CMD_ASSOCIATE, * NL80211_CMD_DEAUTHENTICATE, and NL80211_CMD_DISASSOCIATE.
