Help¶

This option enables support for USB HCI controllers that sometimes
send out-of-order HCI events and ACL Data due to using different USB
endpoints.
Enabling this option will make the master role not require the
encryption-change event to be received before accepting key-distribution
data.
It opens up for a potential vulnerability as the master cannot detect
if the keys are distributed over an encrypted link.

Direct dependencies¶
