I've updated the pictures available in the openwrt device page:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/xiaomi/mini
As you can see, the board is the size of two credit cards and has uFL
connectors for the antennas.
Both of the antennas seem identical, and the circuitry around the uFL
connectors seem to be identical also, but as I don't have a 5ghz device
with me, i can't test it.
Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to test.
They are now using LibreMesh perfectly.
Tomorrow night also will test throughput between two of these devices.
