That leaves me wondering how a mere mortal tells the difference between a broken driver and a missing driver. Ask a kernel dev, obviously :)

Something in the BIOS apparently resets some hardware thingy, and then it all works extremely well thereafter. Having to reboot the computer to use a usb docking station kinda defeats the whole point of usb. (Or am I just being grumpy? :) There's nothing wrong with being grumpy. Hm. I'll send you my wife's email address off-list. Can anyone think of some trick I could use in lieu of rebooting to get the adapter/disk combination properly initialized? Does unloading and reloading the xhci module help? Brilliant :) It does indeed, thanks.
