i was talking about a different scenario. its not about adding a 
element, but to read it back for gui for instance. this is why i made a 
patch which parses this special ie
and adds the radioname as extra element to the station table. this works 
for ap as well of course. so iw ath0 station dump will print out the 
radio name if available
