No additional USB devices were found.

Here's the results from lsusb

[root at RPI-W4ZZK ~]# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0d8c:000c C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMSC9512/9514
Fast Ethernet Adapter
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMC9514 Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

These FOBs that I use are the ones that you recommended on eBay sometime
back. Were like $2 and change each.

Thanks for your efforts.
