Research direction
Start at the linked TODO in kernel-src/io/net/wlan.c around line 203, then inspect how WLAN descriptors are allocated and freed. The issue says related work is needed in other Wi-Fi repositories but does not name them or define the expected behavior; clarify the scope and completion criteria before attempting a change.
