This means: Mouse, Keyboard can be p= lugged/unplugged as many time as I want at any point, while displays connect= ed over display port only work when connected before starting X (and they do= n'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 th= e laptop). >>>>=20 >>>> Also, in my setup wifi didn't work without adding iwm0 explicitly to cl= oned interfaces (which isn't something I wouldn't expect I have to do, but i= n this case I had to). >>>=20 >>> Did you have a >>> wlans_iwm0=3D"wlan0" >>> in /etc/rc.conf? =20 >>> I do not know or see why putting iwm0 in cloned would do much of anythin= g >>> for a wlan device. >>>=20 >>> Also note that is wlans as in plural, not wlan_iwm0.

Funny how I forgot to do that and how clo= ned_interfaces just did the right thing by loading the correct modules.
