the main problem is time. basically i have to

1) go to a store/online and pick up a couple of bluetooth 2.0+edr 
adapters. those are in $20 us range now (i.e cheap);

2) read and understand bluetooth 2.0 spec;

3) make changes to the existing code;

i do not think it would be very hard to add edr support. i suspect that 
all needed to be done is to properly detect and configure edr device.

like i said, it should not be very hard to add 2.0+edr support. btw, 
bluez does support 2.0+edr, so it could save me some time.

you could do a simple task of updating ng_hci.h headers to include all 
the 2.0+edr hci commands and events. i think someone already might have 
done a port of it. you are more then welcome to send patches to the list.

thanks,
max
