Is this patch supposed to allow me to hot-plug/hot-eject my laptop in its docking station ? I have an IBM T41 and a docking station with extra IDE/PCI/PCMCIA bus-es on it. I've tried for a long time to make them work hot, but till now, I could not make them work. I can only use the docking station if I boot in it. Thanks, Paul
