subject: Inbuilt Wifi

For reasons not pertinent to PIs, I started researching wifi
performance, and would like the assembled multitudes to comment on the
correctness, or otherwise of what I have found.

- All Pis with built-in Wifi use the Broadcomm chip
- This chip is not capable of 5Ghz connectivity
- Nor is it capable of 40Mhz dual channel operation
- ergo it *cannot* connect at *more* than 72Mbps

And its often _way_ worse than that.
