Correct for the newer C/Port, or C/Dock "port replicators", or "docking
stations" from Dell.  For the Latitude CP's and newer models.  (I have
one of these)  Not correct for the older Latitude XP/XPi's which have
an ISA based replicator.  The older replicator (for XPs) has a Future Domain
9C50 (I think), and an SMC9000 ethernet. (remember writing that driver
for me?)  The newer replicator (for XPs) has an AIC6360, and a 3c509.

Once he figures out what the hardware settings are, a custom kernel should
recognize the aic controller.  The settings are in a manual that comes
with the replicator, in the Win95 control panel, or probably on the Dell
website somewhere.
