I remember a while ago there was another discussion regarding the multiport adapter and its compatibility with regular USB A docks. Now that we'be had a little bit of time, it appears from this thread that the Multiport Adapter still does not properly work with regular USB docks.

Is there a timeline on resolving this? Not having USB capability through any sort of USB dongle is a killer for me, and others, I would assume. Granted, I know that there are plenty of USB C docks out there, but the scenario I am referring to is the following:

[Power, HDMI display 1, USB dock] connected to Multiport Adapter
[Ethernet, USB devices, HDMI/DVI/DP display 2] connected to USB dock above

Does that make sense? That is what I am hoping will work using the current hardware/driver combination.
