Why not just assign those devices to new VMs, "sys-net-dock" and "sys-usb-dock"? When you get to your desk, just reboot with the dock attached--for very well-justified security reasons--and upon entering the desktop, switch the network provider for "sys-firewall" from "sys-net" to "sys-net-dock" and manually start "sys-usb-dock". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
