I believe  their function -could- change in the future, but from what I've noticed: the left one is the regular wireless interface, it lights up solid when you are connected to an access point (it may flash on activity or connection, not 100% sure on why it flashes). the right one is the mesh wireless interface (mine is called msh0_rename), which i'm assuming flashes every once in a while because it's searching for other nodes to mesh with.

I'm no expert, so this stuff is just a guess.
