how about antenna?

[SebastianCzapla]

@macpijan Just checked, technically it's there, it is connected with a wire, but it is outside of the chassis, and the antenna's shielding might not be connecting to gnd. Unfortunatelly, the platform is filled with gear, and it seems that regular mounting holes are covered by these devices. It definitely could be the cause of the issue here.
