This feature does not work with a MiniDock. Quote from ibm-acpi
README:

--- snip ---
There is no support yet for PCI devices that may be attached to a
docking station, e.g. in the ThinkPad Dock II. The driver currently
does not recognize, enable or disable such devices. This means that
the only docking stations currently supported are the X-series
UltraBase docks and "dumb" port replicators like the Mini Dock (the
latter don't need any ACPI support, actually).
--- snap ---

For me it works with the Thinkpad Dock II at work, but not with
MiniDock at home.
