No. Its builtin and the only switch is for the wifi.

Naturally. Its in the handbook, and you never discount the handbook :)

Good to know. I've been following the list for a while, just not 
actively. I thought there might be project pages or something to read...

I'm a little new to jargon, but the features are stereo audio, better 
bitrates, remote control, phone control, etc (HSP, EDR, AV-something or 
rather I think at least). Basically all the cool media stuff available 
now that wasn't around with 1.x. Thats what has grabbed my interest now 
anyway, file transfer, dun... meh- I can do that with wifi.

Iain, as to your previous post I thought I had recognized your name on 
the list of other BSD flavours... :)

Thanks Max. What now? Can I add the product ID to the ng_ubt driver and 
it just work? If so, any chance you could clarify the right way to do 
that- I'm still a little green with coding for BSD :) (and once I have 
done that and it works I'll swing it by you to check it out and commit 
even if you don't mind).

Cheers
