Is that extra Wi-Fi being unused? Not difficult to imagine that this could have been a tap for LE to listen in if someone turned off WiFi

It doesn't seem to be hooked up to the antennas, so it seems fairly innocuous.

If you wanted to do that you wouldn’t need two wifi chips, one is enough if it’s not going to listen to you turning it off.
