no they won't be. The 2.6.35 kernel can potentially be used for HDP, but
we didn't finish the ERTM support on time. So there will be some hickups
when it comes to ERTM. My recommendation is to NOT enable ERTM by
default (yes, there is a kernel config option). Then for testing it can
be enabled via l2cap.enable_ertm=1 kernel module option. The support for
ERTM is compiled in anyway. The config option only decides about the
default for it.

The first kernel where upstream is enabling ERTM by default will be
2.6.36 kernel. It will be also the first kernel that got extensive
testing via Bluetooth SIG test suite. Everything before 2.6.36 is just
not ready for ERTM usage.

Regards

Marcel
