You're right about using the word "guess".  It IS guesswork when it comes to 
these manufacturers.  However, I will have to tentatively disagree it's the 
same module.  I have sort of identified 3 different modules:

1. GS OOlite V1.0 - this one is the one I got and it only got connectors on 2 
sides - 1 wan 1 lan wired up - all gpio's exposed

2. GS Oolite V1.14 (I think) - this one may or may not be identical to the one 
you mention - connectors on 3 sides and built-in pcb antenna

3. GS Oolite V2 - looks like the previous one but got all 5 ethernet ports 
wired up and no built-in pcb antenna

The module I've got is described a bit here:

Including photos of the exact module.  And I actually thought I ordered the V2 
but ended up with the V1 :)

That is quite interesting information.  I'll check my modules.

You are absolutely right about this one.  I'll update my patch!
