This means: Mouse, Keyboard can be plugged/unplugged as many time as I want at any point, while displays connected over display port only work when connected before starting X (and they don't disappear after disconnecting). Note that stopping X seems to fix this (so no reboot required), but I don't have the docking station myself (this is the Ultra Dock Pro or something - the one that connects at the bottom of the laptop). > >> > >> Also, in my setup wifi didn't work without adding iwm0 explicitly to cloned interfaces (which isn't something I wouldn't expect I have to do, but in this case I had to). > > > > Did you have a > > wlans_iwm0="wlan0" > > in /etc/rc.conf? > > I do not know or see why putting iwm0 in cloned would do much of anything > > for a wlan device. > > > > Also note that is wlans as in plural, not wlan_iwm0.
