Hi Christian,

In my experience at least, tracking down problems with ACKs has been
phenomenally difficult. I have no direct advice but a couple of
suggestions:

Have you tried with hardware ACK? Is there a reason you're using software ACKs?

Just out of curiosity - what sniffer are you using? I used a cc2531emk
[1] and I know it missed some packets either because of radio
interference/losses (which makes sense) or potentially due to USB
issues (which doesn't, and can be very misleading).

Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me should comment on this, but
my understanding is that this is very unlikely because of the nature
of the design. I believe the FIFO is emptied as it is read.
