Does anyone here know how to tell if an Apple Bluetooth module is  
version 1.1 or 2.0 BT standard?
Or better yet, anyone got a picture of a Bluetooth 2.0 module?
My late 2008 Mac Pro did not come with Bluetooth, and I wanted to add  
it.
I bought one from Powermax and their product listing said "Bluetooth  
2.0-EDR", which is what I wanted.
When it arrived I checked it out and installed it, and it works fine.
However, file transfers are a little slow, so I double-checked the  
part numbers:
	ANATEL:0786-05-1993
	Model A1115
	FCC ID: BCGA1115
	IC: 579C-A1115
The PCB is blue.  A picture is here:

The reason I question this is I found a site that says this is a  
Bluetooth 1.1 module, which is slower and not quite as good at making  
connections.
It's possible I just have slow BT devices, but I want to make sure I  
got the right module.
Any information or pointers appreciated.
