Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

wfb-link is a Rust-based userspace radio stack that brings WiFiBroadcast (WFB-NG) support to macOS by controlling RTL8812AU USB adapters directly via USB bulk endpoints, bridging raw 802.11 frames to UDP for UAV telemetry and video links. Its cross-platform facade architecture, detailed hardware bring-up, and production-ready service config make it a novel bridge between niche drone RF links and macOS.

Target audience: embedded systems engineers, drone developers, network engineers
