Well, I've recently figured out (partly by obtaining a converter from a different vendor) that the converters both work correctly when plugged into a USB port that's physically on my Dell Latitude laptop - but they have issues and require a reconnect cycle when plugged into the docking station for the laptop. (It took a long time to figure this out, because *of course* you plug this sort of stuff into the docking station specifically so you don't have to plug it in every morning). So obviously, it isn't the converter that is the problem, but the docking station is doing "something stupid". Anybody have suggestions on figuring out what it's doing wrong? --==_Exmh_1361400518_1911P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iQIVAwUBUSVSxQdmEQWDXROgAQJ6TQ//ft0djWqMTAuMpYylSTYMNeh2OXyOsqib YXlEKA7/mYrwryXYja1TLyJx+ZcbE5FEKgcW6LBlmvOBEEUGIw9bLp/IKMRu2igU YCg0eKm+BrCBzpZFV8AZwJkM27QF1EbWI+F1urXuKoIyPvw8AX2s50Z1zAodhg6J vkM3AG2zzWtpM2o1nchTnVGaAIvcBtY6G1b4X1gMtHW9VZ8VNs5oLoXWHLr7VhPt gH9nrHoAuTLI5btSpk3lV0QCCrFahUYleNv3xMZmcQ2ya/CX7BP+UDDX+kcv/i8p j6lbrq1uKW/XoHvcnoLoc2Jv5bLuEgSGM3M9rNjotqpjP7SDG4DcT9YB3M8sAQFJ ke0/fCbG7tWqYeOnPAh0Zk8eiCY6iErXVUWFsG6iBRb9xu0Sdc2dJ6v/ur8lyDN/ xBCkCMbNpNYEudtjdClDwr0u/U621J6LQX2iYBMEoX6qKlPyo1g4oUlcrsxWl/OU VZBQcOjbPiOefY1mK/1bgvGN5lcpw2i7RjJOGEZQCSI7VIoR89MY19+qJs31YKEL crvz9WHteH5VnV6BaYnWPDyXtsuz0uSovZ41OXvWl1p5I62FoE7uMLiIkSzVSfEz cuicst7TZ08AjttXq1qoLlHOjdjaOtc53MMz0djidUzojo2jyJAhc9smg02sJ9uA 8055ws36VPU= =/2hU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1361400518_1911P--
