Many have docking stations that add an extra pci bus through a bridge... it would be really nice to be able to "hot" add that bus, and "hot" remove it - provided devices on it were not in use. The IBM laptops do this very well, but I don't think linux supports this kind of functionality... yet? Is it possible? Is anyone working on it? -- Cheers Paul _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes? SourceForge.net is looking for download mirrors. We supply the hardware.
