Arthur,

Yes would really love to see a teardown update on the wireless / wifi card. I'm very into privacy and when receiving my mac pro would really want to disconnect and remove wifi / bluetooth as much as possible. With old macs the wireless card was removable. I understand here it's not, though it on a breakout board like this gives me hope, perhaps for some government customers or some special requirements labs they will release a version with a different breakout i/o top card without the wireless capabilities. In the meantime the first thing I'd do would be to disconnect these antennas which would at least significantly reduce the reception (curious as to how much), and I'd want to plan better to significantly via hardware disable that wireless chipset even if it means possibly some soldering. A better look at that setup would really help plan that out and decrease likelihood of breaking something.
