Bug Description
Whenever I insert my Bluetooth USB dongle, manufactured by Vivanco (Model 18031, FCC-ID NV6-CS8024), the syslog is flooded with messages
> hci_scodata_packet: hci0 SCO packet for unknown connection handle 0
There are about 500 of these messages generated EACH SECOND, causing a high load (and lots of wasted disk space) on my system (which is a Thinkpad R40 running dapper, but the same problem also exists in breezy). This happens also if the system is booted from dapper flight 5 live CD, so this is no configuration issue.
Since the Vivanco dongle is -at least here in Germany- sold in large volumes by retailers like Media Markt, and simply plugging it in causes the system load go up to 2 just for processing the log messages, therefore making the system slow and almost unusable, I believe this should be fixed with some priority.
I have also posted this to the development and users mailing list of the module in question (bluez), but to no avail (yet):

Set to Major based on potential impact, but still unconformed. Can we get anyone else who has had a similar experience?
