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.

latest kernel doesn't come with nfsd support, does it?

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.

No N9 with me ATM, here's some old threads I could quickly find:

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?
