Hi - I have a IBM Thinkpad 2631 dock that should be arriving on Wedensday. Question 1 - does the PCI slot work with Fedora? I would want to put a USB 2.0 card in it. If it does work, does it interfere with docking/undocking of the thinkpad w/o shutting down? Question 2 - Do the Cardbus slots work? I would want to use a USB 2.0 card in it (I have one that works in Linux) if the PCI slot doesn't work. If the PCI slots are functional under Linux than Q2 doesn't matter to me. Question 3 - UltraBay 2000 - I've seen reports that it works, but can not be hot swapped. I would want to put a HD in it. Is there maybe some magic I can use with hal (or whatever) so that the hd in the UltraBay 2000 is seen as a removable drive? It would be nice if I didn't have to power off every time I undocked, and un-docking simply notified the OS that the drive had been removed (like what happens whe a USB hard drive is removed). It isn't that big of an issue - the hard drive is only going to be used for backing up /home in the event my laptop is stolen. But if I can just leave it all the way inserted, and not have to power off to dock/undock it would be sweet. I'm currently running FC5 but will be installing FC6 shortly.
