Break this up.

	if (src->channel != dst->channel)
		return 0;

	if (memcmp(src->bssid, dst->bssid, ETH_ALEN) != 0)
		return 0;

	if (ieee->iw_mode == IW_MODE_INFRA) {
		if (src->ssid_len != dst->ssid_len)
			return 0;
		if (memcmp(src->ssid, dst->ssid, src->ssid_len) != 0)
			return 0;
	}

	if (src->capability & WLAN_CAPABILITY_IBSS !=
	    dst->capability & WLAN_CAPABILITY_IBSS)
		return 0;
	if (src->capability & WLAN_CAPABILITY_BSS !=
	    dst->capability & WLAN_CAPABILITY_BSS)
	    	return 0;

	return 1;

In the original code we don't verify that dst->ssid_len is valid if
ieee->iw_mode == IW_MODE_INFRA.  That means there is a potential Oops
if we read too far in the memcmp(src->ssid, dst->ssid, src->ssid_len).
I haven't reviewed the callers so it may not be a real issue.
