Hi,

my earlier post seems to have gotten lost somewhere, so here again, in more detail.
I've got an Asus Transformer 3 Pro and installed Qubes 3.2 on it.

It works surprisingly well. Network, USB, display, touchscreen, keyboard and touchpad are working right away.

It's troublesome the tablet has no Ethernet and only one USB controller, which means I cannot simply use a USB-Ethernet device.

I haven't tried bluetooth yet.

I've also got the Thunderbolt docking station, which contains a HDMI and VGA port, Ethernet, two USB 3 and one USB-C Ports, a SD card reader and audio ports It also charges the tablet while leaving a USB-C port available.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to use the docks USB controller inside a VM. I can attach the controller, but the devices (like the integrated ethernet or external USB devices) never show up in the VM. I'll post some logs showing this later.

So far the short report on the Transformer 3.

Kind regards,
Benjamin

Here a log of the docking station attached to dom0. This only works, if the station is attached on boot, hotplugging does not seem to work. If I attach the station to the running system, the PCI devices show up, but the USB devices don't.

Here I attached the PCI devices of the docking station to sys-net an rebooted for good measure.
As you can see, the bridges show up, but the usb controller and the usb devices do not, I have not Idea why.

Qubes disables hotplugging Thunderbolt/Firewire/Express Card devices for security reasons ergo this is not a bug it's a feature. Dunno how to disable that.

OK. But this should not prevent the device from being attached to a VM, I think.

Indeed above there is a place for USB controller - 00:04.0. Check kernel
messages (dmesg) in sys-net - maybe there you'll find something
interesting about it.

I have revisited an earlier approach with some more success.
I attached only the usb controller, not the bridges. This seems to work:

sudo lspci

00:01.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 (rev 59)

So some devices are there, like the SD card reader, audio device and the usb hubs. The usb hubs even work, the Logitec device is an external keyboard I connected.

But the ethernet device is not there, nor the usb ethernet dongle that's also connected to the usb hub. Both show up on dom0 if I connect them, but since dom0 has no networking, I cannot say if they would work.

I cannot see an error in dmesg either. Am I missing something? Do I need to configure something else to enable the network devices in sys-net?

Maybe those are on the other USB controller - 00:14.0 ? Try attaching
that too to the sys-net.

No, that's the integrated controller, which is the source of the trouble, since it also is used for keyboard and touchpad/touchscreen, so I cannot attach that to a VM.

I've attached the ethernet dongle to the same port as the logitech keyboard, but it does not show up anywhere.

If you see the device in dom0 in some configuration, take a look at its
sysfs path - it will have a hint on which controller is it. Like this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 4 01:32 /sys/bus/usb/devices/3-1 ->
../../../devices/pci-0/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb3/3-1

That's really quite clear, here's a lsusb output from dom0 with both usb controllers. Here the ASIX and Realtek ethernet deivces show up on bus 004.

Bus 004 Device 004: ID 0b95:1790 ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet

Bus 004 Device 005: ID 0bda:8153 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

lsusb of dom0 after attaching the controller to sys-net:
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0b05:1838 ASUSTek Computer, Inc.

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04f2:b5b1 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

and of sys-net:

sudo lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 046d:c51e Logitech, Inc.

Bus 002 Device 006: ID 1e4e:0898 Cubeternet
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0572:1703 Conexant Systems (Rockwell), Inc.
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 05e3:0610 Genesys Logic, Inc. 4-port hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05e3:0610 Genesys Logic, Inc. 4-port hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

The Logitech keyboard attached to the docking station is there, but neither the asix dongle nor the docks ethernet port show up. It seems dom0s usb bus 004 got lost somewhere.
Interestingly, if I switch the ethernet dongle and the logitech keyboard, the keyboard shows up on another port, but the dongle does not show up.

I have no idea what's going on.

It looks like none of devices from that bus show up (just root hub).
Anything interesting in dmesg there? I'd recommend looking for more than
just "grep usb" - for example some messages may contain only xhci, or
just pci BDF.

I really can't see anything in there, but i've attached the log, maybe I missed something?
What baffles me is that the Logitech keyboard shows up, but the ehternet dongle does not, though they are both on the docking station, and those ports are definitely on the same hub.
