I don't have any BT4.0LE devices, but take a look at this:
(Tested on the latest kernel-plus)

Code:
user@RM696 ~ # /usr/sbin/hciconfig hci0 version
hci0: Type: BR/EDR Bus: UART
BD Address: 1C:E2:CC:XX:XX:XX ACL MTU: 1021:4 SCO MTU: 180:4
HCI Version: 4.0 (0x6) Revision 0x0
LMP Version 4.0 (0x6) Subversion 0x1f20
Manufacturer: Texas Instruments Inc. (13)
user@RM696 ~ # hcitool lescan
LE Scan...
BT4.0 Low Energy is apparently supported and functional on the N9. Can anyone investigate further?

Scratch that, a bit of Googling brought something up:
BT4.0LE apparently requires BlueZ 5.x, and the 3.5 kernel.
The Bluetooth kernel subsystem will need to be ported, and BlueZ patched.

Let's see what we get.

EDIT 2:
The difference between BlueZ 4.x and 5.x is massive.
About 0 of the patches still apply to 5.x.
This will be a huge piece of work.

Not yet. This is just the base port, and the other stuff needs to be ported on top of that. Depending on how I have time I might do something this evening...

Odd, I seem to recall BT4/LE being confirmed as completed for the N9, & even certified!

I get conflicting reports. Some say it was being worked on and close to release, others say it was some internal, scrapped thing.

Try scanning for a BT4LE-only device with the N9 - I don't have any on hand, and can't test it.

You're confused? That reminds of the time I first got my N900 and I saw that there was a 'power' kernel available. I thought, "Oh, Maemo runs on POWER. Where do I get the ARM build?"

I still cringe that it's named 'power'. I'm glad Hurrian went with the name 'kernel-plus' for Harmattan.

(Sorry for the OT post BTW, felt it had to be said )

That's for the overclocking stuff, right?

I do not really like the idea, of course it is for everyone to decide for themselves but for me N9 is fast enough with normal clocking, and I would not want to try to overclock my device.

A bit of overclocking does not harm and may give you a subjective feeling that it helps (run my N900 on 850MHz with some POWERSAVE_BIAS=53 to almost always not use that max frequency).

But even I agree to juiceme in general, it is the user that activates this. So I would like to see them in the "plus-kernel".

Sounds like we found a new home for kernel-plus (or 'plus-kernel' )!
Would that also include a repo (git, svn, ...) to keep it easier for all of you?
