I see. It make sense now. It's actually the README that confused me, 
especially this section:

> the only docking stations *currently supported* are the X-series
> UltraBase docks and "dumb" port replicators like the Mini Dock 

(*emphasis* mine)

I thought the mini-dock was somehow supported by ibm-acpi where actually 
it "just works" with linux full stop...

Many thanks,
