the dump of the listeining or the sending dongle?
for the listening one, I sent a hcidump from a successfull and failed 
connection. with a diff, you see exactly what I described.

I think exactly this happens...

but then it's strainge that these ACL packets are always sent before the 
"connection" successfull packet. or do I right now miss something?
