It takes a bit more than having a capable chipset and firmware. The host-side stack also needs to support the new features, and for 802.11 "High Speed" transfers I guess the WiFi subsystem would need to cooperate as well.

Note that the N8x0s only do 2.0+EDR (no support for secure pairing for example). The Fremantle bluez/kernel versions are supposed to support 2.1+EDR so we might get that in RX-[57]1.
