[Bluez-users] Broadcom: ACL packet for unknown connection handle

[Marco Pracucci <development@pracucci.com>]

Dear Marcel,

I own several Bluetooth adapters and I've experienced a strange behavior 
with Broadcom-based USB dongles. Most time the kernel sends an HCI 
"Create connection" command to the adapter, it returns two ACL data 
packets (data length is 0) before the "Connection complete" event. I've 
read that a similar behavior has alreay been discussed in this mailing 
list, always with Broadcom based adaptors.

Since this behavior does not seem to be critical, I would like to know 
if it could be a problem for the kernel/bluez. In particular, does it 
badly affect any internal data structure or connection state? Is there 
any problem for Bluez (except that these two packets are lost)?

The following is a "double dump" of the problem.
