It could probably use some review for "naming".  I'm not familiar enough
with the dissector to know if fields/dissector table name makes sense.

In regards to not already having a dissector table, not all developers think
about it, especially if there is only a case or two.  Then a situation like
yours comes along, and it gets changed. It also looks like "public fields"
may need its own dissector table for vendor specific functionality too.

I would love to give this some thought, and may do, but the damn
IEEE802.11 2012 spec is 2600+ pages long!
