Tried 1 and 2 with no success. Unfortunatelly I do not have my other XOs with me right now test 3 but looks pretty gone.

Tried to locate a sales point for 88w8686 sdio module but the only one I found [1] looks nothing like the XO's one. 
iLovemyXO also does not appear to have it.
Are these available only through OLPC?
Thanks
