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
