Bug Description

As the summary says. I don't even get USB power through the docking station.

Due to my new BIOS crack, I have no idea how to debug this usefully.

Ok, it looks like the computer treats both ethernet ports (the docking station
and the laptop) as one. When I plug in to the docking station one, they both
light up and show activity.

DVI does the same thing that X does when there is no monitor plugged in, ie,
produce garbage on the screen.

Not sure of what the complaint here is. Is it just that USB doesn't work through
your docking station? If so, send me some dmesg output, and kernel/release you
are using.

Please try dapper aswell (2.6.15-7 kernel).

You still have not answered my last comment. Dmesg output and description of exactly what isn't working.

I could care less whether this gets fixed in dapper and it is not worth the backport.

Here is what now works:
USB (of all types)
What doesn't:
Wired network
Not tested:
modem
parallel port
ps/2 ports

The dmesg bootup was when attached to the docking station. Do you want me to bootup when off the station?
