Alexander, >>> Does freebsd implementation of bluetooth stack support data rates of >>> bluetooth 2.0? >> no, freebsd bluetooth stack is v1.1 and does not support bluetooth 2.0 >> edr as of now. > > AS OF NOW sounds better than NEVER will :o) but may I ask you do you make > some steps towards edr support? is it realy hard to include edr support? 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. > can I help with something?

AFAIK BlueZ do not support edr too... is it so > difficult to implement edr on 1.1 base? 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
