We would tell you that this Broadcom BCM 943224 module looks just like the Mid 2011 MacBook Air's wireless board, but you would accuse us of being repetitive.

In case you thought we were joking, taking the EMI shield off reveals the same chips as last year:

Broadcom BCM4322 Intensi-fi® Single-Chip 802.11n Wi-Fi Transceiver

Broadcom BCM20702 Single-Chip Bluetooth 4.0 Processor with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) support
