πŸ’– RETURN πŸ’–

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the thing bestie β€” the element is assumed to be of the correct type (BASIC) and big enough. assumed!! it's not out here double-checking for you 😭. you must check that yourself using ieee80211_mle_type_ok. do not skip the vibe check, fr fr.

⚠️ real talk: if you feed it a wrong-type or too-small element without checking first, that's on you, not on the function. ieee80211_mle_type_ok is the pre-flight check β€” use it. πŸ”₯
