Vick,

When installing ubuntu 12.04 from usb i have had my dockingstation connected at all times. I also had my Mouse and keyboard connected on the dockingstation and they worked fine. Which gave me some hope at first. Network also worked fine. 

Im not hotpluging my docking station, i boot with it at all times. 

I truly have no idea what that export means, but i will figure it out by reading ur link and do some research. What would my next step be ?

Thanks for your reply!

Kind regards,
Roberto

You won't be able to use the media station video outputs at the moment, nobody has figured it out yet. But you should be able to connect 2 monitors directly to your laptop.

The only time the media station works is if it's connected to the laptop when booting it, hotplug doesn't work at the moment (the network and DVD actually work, the USB does not).

Here is a link to the different versions of the modules http://www.logic.at/people/preining/software/
Pick the one that matches the kernel you have. You sill need to install the kernel headers and if it complains that it cant find them you might have to export the SYSSRC variable and point it to the location of the headers (something like "export SYSSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-3.3.0-trunk-amd64" if you are running 3.3.0 64bit kernel for example)
