I meant: 
Maybe first they have to talk to each other and say: 
"OK, I will be the master first, and you wait. And if I don't send 
you any more sync packets, then you should be in charge :)"

If they didn't agree on that, and don't know about each other, that 
should be the INIT state. Thats the only reasonable thing that I could 
think of, because there is no such INIT state in documentation !!!!@#!@#!@
