Another verbose +1:

I run Linux as my embedded and web development environment. Was about to buy one of those cute usb 3.0 docking stations, because it's exactly what I need. Then I found out about this fiasco, the fact that DisplayLink chips do not support Linux intentionally (for whatever reasons, I don't care). Big thumbs down. Not going to buy a docking station until Linux is supported.

I hope DisplayLink or a competitor supports Linux soon.

To DisplayLink reps:
It's time to accept it, Linux is real and there are users who expect product support. Don't tell us why it can't work. We couldn't care less. Make it work so we can focus on the next big thing.
Thank you.
