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,
