Now that I know that the codes mean something I looked a bit more into it. The 
Panic code is 0x01 before the reset and 0x16 after (I guess that 0x01 is the 
normal value). Also, when I did a few more tries this morning, I got Panic 
code 0x22 and Fault code 0x1f. Since it looks that you have some usefull 
documents, could you look up the meaning of 0x22 and 0x1f?

So, I get panic code 0x16 when the reset happend out of it self and 0x22 when
provoked by a rfcomm connection. The strange thing is that Fault code 0x1f is 
there all the time. It shows up when I run the first hciconfig directly after 
bringing up everyting which makes me believe that someting else is wrong 
earlier in the startup process (or is 0x1f the "normal" value for the fault 
code?).

Hmm, I nuked the pre-installed XP since I didn't plan to use it.... perhaps a 
mistake. But it is possible to reinstall to check, but then I have to remove 
my current linux installation so I like to try other options first.

Do any of you have firmware files available? Perhaps any of the HCI 18.2 
versions listed here:

Can I restore my dongle in case of bad firmware if I do dfutool archive first 
to save my current firmware?

Regards Johan
