This is true, but, if you specify DM and DH packets, then the Link
Manager will switch automatically. If you try to specify just DH packets
but the Link Manager thinks the link is too poor to use them then, since
DM1 packets are always allowed, it will drop to DM1 giving poor bandwidth
(whereas if you'd left it alone it would have used DM5).

The only thing that works is specifying DM packets only.

Note also that you can alter the packet types only for the packets
sent by the controller. The information is not communicated over the
air, so the other side will be using whatever packet types its host
has suggested.

No, and seeing as the LM can adapt very quickly, this could lead to
the host being flooded by messages.

CQDDR is supported if the appropriate features bit is set. BlueZ
reports it as Channel Quality (IIRC).

There's no standard way of disabling it. I've yet to be convinved
it would be a good thing.

In what way is automatic CQDDR inappropriate for your application.
