Yes, it's actually a dual Bluetooth + AR9285 NIC. I forget the card identifier. But it's a perfectly fine AR9285 and it'll also (hopefully) work with bluetooth. The AR9285 is Mini-PCIe. The USB is just for the bluetooth IC. They're joined together for doing bluetooth coexistence. Awesome, if you're interested, I can start pushing out bluetooth coexistence patches for you to test. Are you able to run -HEAD?
