You are right, and I'm sorry to hear that.  That said I'd like to ask
for your help to document this so that other people can identify the
right card before buying it.  Can you answer some questions about your
device?

1.  Does it look like this one?
http://www.airlink101.com/products/awll3026.html (ours is like this)
or like this one?
http://www.airlink101.com/products/abt-u200.html

2.  Does the picture on the box match one of the two pictures linked above?

3.  What's the model printed on the box, below the barcode? (ours says
Model: AWLL3026)

We do have some spares.  If you send me a private e-mail with your
address we'll send you one at no cost to apologize for not being more
clear about this.

Cheers,

Javier
