Too bad that seller only ships in the UK.
 I'd pick a couple up in a heartbeat at that price.

the guy agreed to halve postage prices on the second device, so I bought two! So, who would like one, we split the total price 50:50 and you only have to pay my paypal fee and P&P on top (estimated price is thus GBP8 or US$16 for one + paypal + P&P).
The good news is that I am coming to the USA (chandler, AZ) at the end of May so that postage to someone in USA, Mexico or Canada won't have to pay through the nose for postage. |

I'll take it if it is still available. |

I just received two of these, slightly different labels on the cards but the packaging is the same, and the cards are revision H, which is good news! I received a 50% discount on the P&P for the second card, so the total was GBP15, or about US$30 the pair.
I'm going to test them now to verify all is well. -edit- first one does, using debian 2.6.24.3, did "hciattach ttyS4 socket", "/etc/init.d/bluetooth start", was able to "pand --connect xx:xx..." -edit- second one does too. they're both same revision silicon & firmware despite card label being very different colour. HCI Ver: 1.1 (0x1) HCI Rev: 0x1bb LMP Ver: 1.1 (0x1) LMP Subver: 0x1bb Manufacturer: Cambridge Silicon Radio (10) added this to the /etc/network/interfaces.

I shall pack one up for you, HV. My flight is already booked from London to Phoenix, using Northwest, via Chicago. |

By different label I assume one is labelled in the current black and blue and other is in the older orange colour scheme. I hope you have pleasant trip and I look forward to receiving the card. Just let me know how much the shipping will be from Arizona and I'll send the whole payment to you. Thanks so much. |

Oh, I should say as much for the benefit of others who might be considering, it doesn't include a CF to PCMCIA adaptor wotsit in case you were thinking it could be used to add bluetooth to a laptop with pcmcia slot. |
