No, the rev number is the USB device rev number and AFAIK has no relevance to anything.. usbconfig(8) manpage seems to be a bit sparse, you might have to check the source for tips as to what it can print out.. if the device is built in, is there some way of disabling it? (my laptop has a disable wireless switch, and also a disable bluetooth method.. mind you, both of them cause the usb device to disappear entirely) > > > Also, what is the state of bluetooth 2.x?
