'c' is 12. The card was configured for 12. When the kernel started, the 
BT driver registered itself for 11.  When the BT driver talked to the card,
the card asserted IRQ 12.  The kernel received the IRQ, but nothing was
registered for it, hence the 'strayintr' error.  The BT driver had nothing
to do with 'c'.

Hope that all makes sense 8)  (transpose 'e' for 'c' and that's the problem
I had with my 34f and its default configuration)
