Toshiba DynaDock ethernet issues with 1.5betas

It seems that Toshiba DynaDocks are having problems with the new 1.5beta series (in combination with Snow Leopard 10.6.1)

I'm using Toshiba DynaDock DVI and its ethernet network interface port is not detected and therefore not working when booting up or returning from sleep.

WORKAROUND:
I found out that manually unloading and loading the apple usb ethernet driver makes the Toshiba DynaDock DVI network interface work.

the following should be executed at root (sudo):

kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBEthernet;

kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBEthernet.kext;

after this stunt my Toshiba DynaDock DVI network interface works as a charm - until reboot or sleeping.

/Uffe :-)
