Does the Opi pc have built-in Wi-Fi?

If not, I don't understand how my Opi is doing this. I plugged a Wifi dongle in my Opi. Then I ran create_ap. When I did ifconfig, I had wlan0 connected to my router and wlan1 providing the access point. I was sure that there was some kind of mistake. I VNC'd into the Opi and I'm typing this now while connected to the access point and  connected to the internet through my router.
Is there a bonus built-in Wi-Fi on the Opi, or is the Access Point managing both an inbound and an outbound connection? I ordered a second $5 dongle and was planning todig into how to bridge the connections, but now I don't have to.

I just want to know who to thank! Yeee Haaaa!

I looked in dmesg and it looks like I need to thank loboris for the way he set up the access point or Mr Ubuntu or Mr RealTek. I think I
see the wifi dongle port switching.

Please help me to activate my WiFi. I have a WiFi USb dongle connected and it seems to be recognized as WLAN but I have no clue how to enable the WiFi and to get it active.

google "nmcli examples" Red Hat has a great page.

https://access.redhat.com/docume ... ine_Tool_nmcli.html

To view the available Wi-Fi access points, issue a command as follows:

~]$ nmcli dev wifi list
  SSID            MODE  CHAN  RATE     SIGNAL  BARS  SECURITY
  FedoraTest     Infra  11    54 MB/s  98      ▂▄▆█  WPA1
  Red Hat Guest  Infra  6     54 MB/s  97      ▂▄▆█  WPA2
  Red Hat        Infra  6     54 MB/s  77      ▂▄▆_  WPA2 802.1X
* Red Hat        Infra  40    54 MB/s  66      ▂▄▆_  WPA2 802.1X
  VoIP           Infra  1     54 MB/s  32      ▂▄__  WEP
  MyCafe         Infra  11    54 MB/s  39      ▂▄__  WPA2

To connect to MyCafe:
~]$ nmcli con add con-name MyCafe ifname wlan0 type wifi ssid MyCafe

If you need to add a Password for your connection,  there are examples of that on the page, as well.
