I'd be really interested to know how you arrived at that figure. It
means that all the waveguides and stuff that I use at work are all the
wrong size!

Or even 6.25 cm for HALF a wavelength.

Not sure if this was a one off offer, store dependant, or across the
board, but I bought two of the USB adapters for £20 each a couple of
weeks ago, along with one of the wireless routers. Didn't see anything
on the shelf to say the USB adapters were covered by a multi-saver
offer, but the discount was on the receipt.
