Your from/s-o-b doesn't seem right - just "poh"? Shouldn't it say
"Peter Oh" instead? :)

I would expect the ext_info structure to be aligned at 4 byte
boundaries (or is it?) but buf_len isn't guaranteed to be multiple of
4. This could mean you grab garbage in some cases depending on the
mgmt frame size (i.e. whether its size is multiple of 4). It might be
coincidence it works for you?
