Did you build the machine while it was in the dock? I installed Intrepid on
my ThinkPad X40 while in its X4 Ultrabase, and I'm having no problem with
any of the USB ports, either in the base, or on the machine itself.

I have a T23 that I&#39;m using with a TP Dock (Model 2631). =A0The T23 use=

I have now added a PCI USB card (Sunix Artmel Co. USB 4-port 
hub with VIA chipset) to the dock and all is well as long as I do not 
remove the laptop from the dock. =A0That is, the new USB 2.0 ports on 
the PCI card do work but not the two original ports on the back of the 
dock. But if I undock the laptop the working ports change; the new USB 
ports on the PCI card stop working and the two USB 1.1 ports on the 
back of the dock start working.
