We can download and inspect source codes of TV.
Unfortunately, official firmwares are not open sourced.
But kernel is open and I think we could compile from zero.
Specially for supporting WiFi dongles other than Samsung Brand.

At least the kernel config was interesting to read (32B650.zip). I did make menuconfig and browsed through the options. Then I downloaded LE40B650T2P.zip and unzipped it on top of the previous one and did make config. Now it prompts for NEW options, and found only the following:
Input enabled only 0~9, space, enter and backspace (SERIAL_INPUT_ENABLE_ONLY_NUMBER) [Y/n] (NEW)
Execute authuld program on background (EXECUTE_AUTHULD) [N/y/?]
Maybe doing a full diff of the source tree would reveal what kind of differences there are between CI+ and non-CI+ devices.
Also I noted that the architecture options didn't include x86. But even if we could run the kernel in our own PC, I doubt there is not much point to do so. The exeDSP propably wouldn't run because of the missing hardware. Or maybe we should get one of these and compile natively:
