Research direction

Start with the related TODO at kernel-src/io/net/wlan.c line 24 to see what concurrency protection is missing for key and channel setting. The issue says the work needs to involve WiFi repositories but does not identify which repositories or define the expected behavior; clarify that scope before choosing an implementation. Done means key and channel setting are concurrency protected across the relevant WiFi code.
