Hello Marcel,

Alas, the regression is still there in 2.6.30-rc5 which I tested over
the weekend.

I also forgot to mention that, even with the kernels with the
regression, device pairing using the dongle still works.

Would a packet capture (usbmon) help? Willing to capture whatever
other debugging data that you think may help

Thanks.
