It is a dock in thunderbolt*

I spent a while fighting with this myself with the same dock.  Turns out the dock adds USB and ethernet support via PCI hot adding some new PCI devices.  The Qubes kernel has also disabled PCI hot add disabled in order to block some attack vectors.

Everything on the dock should work if you turn on the the laptop with the dock plugged in.  This isn't great though.  I did this and assigned the new USB controller to my sys-usb VM.  Later on I rebooted the laptop and sys-usb wouldn't start up because it couldn't find one of the PCI devices that was supposed to be passed through to it.

I'd love a better way to work with these docks and qubes, but I don't know of one right now.

Hi cyrinux,

If you'd like this computer to be listed on the HCL page, could you
attach a yml file from the qubes-hcl-report script?
