Research direction

Start by reproducing the hotspot failure on the AsiaRF MT7915e in DBDC mode while monitoring dmesg for the reported mt7915e timeout. Review dmesg_OL_console.txt and the mt7915e driver entry points related to the timeout; done means identifying the cause and keeping both SSIDs available after a client connects.
