Re: Regarding using a docking-station.
Thanks for the info. The main reason for using the dock is for accessing
the CD-ROM drive, additional hard-drive. I am a relative new comer to this
systems level(working on the kernel, invoking kernel modules etc.,) on
Linux.
I will try and see what I can do to get the system interface to the DOCk.
But, I am sure you will get more mails on the list from me sooner.
