No "product" listing, but there are vendor and product ids. The device is my "internal" BlueTooth adapter made by Lite-On. Based on adjacent product codes, it uses an Atheros chip. Obviously using a usb interface, much as a BT-dongle would. Sometime when I have the case open for dust bunny removal I'll check to see if the BT adapter hooks into a MB USB header. Though seldom used, the BT device was functioning the few times I've tried it, so I guess I'll just consider the boot message an informational warning. Thanks again, jon -- Jon H.
