Description Jim Helm 2012-06-14 19:10:22 UTC
Description of problem:

Fedora 17 with the last kernel before 3.4.0, non-display devices on a dynadock U3.0 worked just fine.  Booting from current kernel (3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64), all subdevices are being consumed by the udl driver.

usb-devices output (the simplest way I knew to show the change in behavior)

Before:

I:  If#= 6 Alt= 1 #EPs= 2 Cls=0a(data ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=udl


As a temporary workaround, I blacklisted the udl module, and network/audio have returned.  While I'm very excited at the prospect of finally having full support for the display, my primary use of the dock is for wired network and usb-hub for my Asus UX21E, and unless there's already an upstream fix in a newer kernel, or someway to have udl only grab the display-related interfaces, I'd consider udl broken, and should probably be disabled/blacklisted by default.

I'm happy to provide any additional details to help troubleshoot/fix this, and make changes to configs to get it to work... short of compiling a custom kernel.

I've sent this upstream and it will go to stable soon.

maybe we can get it into Fedora sooner.
