The fix was surgical: rewrite the GetStationList() shim to cache station data. A separate thread would refresh the cache every 500ms via nl80211 async dumps. The HAL call would simply copy from the cache – a 100µs operation. By day 25, the system was stable. The TR-181 parameters synchronized. The web UI showed "Qualcomm Wi-Fi 6E" instead of "Broadcom." Even Axiom's proprietary cloud analytics (via TR-069) accepted the chip's RSSI values. rdk-b integration with non-native wi-fi socs
Mira shrugged. "The stack doesn't care about vendor loyalty," she said. "It only cares about the abstraction. Build a good enough bridge, and any chip can sing RDK-B's song." return (scan_success)
Mira made a call: rewrite the steering logic. She stripped out the Broadcom-specific calls and replaced them with a generic nl80211 RRM interface. For two weeks, she lived inside the 802.11 spec, implementing neighbor reports and BTM requests from scratch. On day eighteen, the gateway booted. Both radios (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) came up. Clients associated. But after 45 minutes, the Wi-Fi would lock up. No ping, no probe responses. The QCA SoC was alive (LED blinking), but RDK-B had lost its mind. The HAL call would simply copy from the
