Yep, that is what mine has too.

That would be MiniPCI form factor. Alot of chipsets come in this
formfactor in a few different AP's now, including Cisco's.

They may be different boards, so maybe not.

Indeed.

I have had a look at a Booya/Senao AP, and it does have a similar
looking board, possibly based on the same samsung CPU, but I am not sure
of the rest of the features.

Really, it's best to get an AP as a whole unit.
