The new and real ones have HWID 81.
Anything else is either too old (2009 era) or a fake/clone.
Fakes/clones do not work with the latest official firmware or AKAIO

Anyone can read this link for more information

I trust nds-card.com is not selling fakes/clones, that would damage their business.

Same. Afaik official acekard products are long gone. The original company vanished.

AK 2i was a popular flashcart, wouldn't doubt that there are still some lingering around on the net somewhere. I still have a few in the box that i haven't even opened yet. Norrmatt is still around though as I've seen him post here once in a while.

Well, based on the product images on their website and this article, they are indeed clones. As others have said, this is no surprise given legit AceKards are no longer being manufactured.
Acekard 2i Front Panel Difference
Users can tell the differences below.

(1) Letter "a" in both acekard and website www.acekard.com;
(2) Bold printing "DSi Compatible" in fake acekard card;
(3) Number "2" printed lighter in clone acekard cards;

(4) Rough workmanship if not original;
They work as intended, I have one myself. Just be aware you can't use the latest firmware, as I think they'll brick if you do (the cart, not the console).

Is the brick permanent or will it go away if you install an older version?

I think the first picture is not accurate,as the actual genuine cards have stickers just like the card marked as fake.
