Kernel modules fully implemented for kernel 6.6/Tensor G5: - rc_wifi_mon: kprobes kallsyms, bcmdhd iovar monitor/promisc/allmulti, sysfs status at /sys/kernel/rc_wifi_mon/, clean unpatch on unload - rc_shannon_cmd: ioctl interface (AT_CMD, GET_URC, SET_TIMEOUT, GET_STATUS, FLUSH), URC ring buffer (64 entries), modem probe on init - rc_diag_bridge: HDLC decode with CRC-16 validation, FTM ioctl, EFS read/write/stat/unlink, version query, subsystem dispatch - rc_ioctl.h: shared userspace header for all ioctl definitions - All modules handle class_create() API change in kernel 6.4+ WebUI fixes: - Fix malformed WiFi firmware JSON output - Add vonr/vt/apn/nradv to carrier config read endpoint - Fix carrier toggle state loading in frontend - Fix redundant replace in kmod toggle logic Makefile: single-module build (MOD=), make package target uninstall.sh: unload kernel modules before cleanup
RadioControl Kernel Modules
Out-of-tree kernel modules for enabling hardware features that are compiled out of production Android kernels.
Target: Pixel 10 Pro Fold (rango), Tensor G5, kernel 6.6.102
Build Requirements
- Matching kernel headers for target device (kernel 6.6.x)
- ARM64 cross-compiler (aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc)
- Device-specific kernel config (CONFIG_KPROBES=y, CONFIG_MODULES=y)
Modules
rc_wifi_mon.ko
Patches the WiFi driver's nl80211 ops table at runtime to allow monitor mode and packet injection on chipsets that have the capability but disable it in their cfg80211 change_virtual_intf handler.
Features:
- Uses kprobes-based kallsyms lookup (works on kernel 5.7+)
- Patches wiphy->interface_modes bitmask for monitor + OCB
- Driver-specific firmware iovars for BCM4390 (monitor, promisc, allmulti)
- SCSC/SLSI MIB patching for Maxwell firmware monitor enable
- sysfs status at /sys/kernel/rc_wifi_mon/status
- Clean restore on module unload
Supports:
- Broadcom bcmdhd4390 (BCM4390, primary target)
- Samsung SCSC/SLSI (Exynos WiFi)
- Qualcomm ath11k/ath12k/cnss
rc_shannon_cmd.ko
Creates /dev/rc_shannon — direct command interface to Samsung Shannon modem bypassing RIL. Allows raw AT command passthrough and IPC message injection for band locking, NR mode control, and diagnostic readout.
Features:
- Auto-detects modem path (umts_atc0, nr_atc0, umts_router)
- URC (unsolicited result code) buffering with ring buffer (64 entries)
- Structured ioctl interface (RC_SHANNON_AT_CMD) with configurable timeout
- Simple read/write interface for basic use
- Statistics tracking (cmds sent, bytes tx/rx)
- Modem connectivity test on load
- Kernel 6.4+ class_create compatibility
rc_diag_bridge.ko
Creates /dev/rc_diag — a simplified userspace interface to the Qualcomm DIAG subsystem. Handles HDLC framing internally.
Features:
- NV item read/write (DIAG_NV_READ_F / DIAG_NV_WRITE_F)
- FTM commands (Factory Test Mode) via subsystem dispatch
- EFS2 file operations (open, read, write, stat, unlink)
- Full HDLC encode/decode with CRC-16 CCITT validation
- Modem version query
- Raw DIAG passthrough for advanced use
- Graceful inactive mode when no Qualcomm modem present
Note: This module is for Qualcomm-baseband devices. On Tensor G5 with Shannon 5400, use rc_shannon_cmd instead. rc_diag_bridge will load but remain inactive.
Shared Header
rc_ioctl.h contains all ioctl definitions for both modules. Include
this from userspace C code to use the structured command interfaces.

Runtime Loading
Modules are loaded by RadioControl's service.sh based on detected chipset. The service automatically:
- Detects SoC type (Tensor/Exynos/Qualcomm)
- Loads the appropriate modules (rc_wifi_mon + rc_shannon_cmd for Tensor)
- Skips rc_diag_bridge on non-Qualcomm devices
- Verifies module load via /proc/modules
