T30 w/ Port Replicator problem

I am running a SuSE Linux 9.0 PRO install on my Thinkpad T30. All works great and have had only one problem. When docked I can not make use of my 4 USB ports on the back side of the docking station (port replicator). I do; however, have access to my PS/2 Keyboard and mouse jacks, Serial, Parallel, and Video ports.

Has anyone been able to configure their distro in such a way that would allow access to the USB devices? I have tested this with Red Hat EL 3.0 and have seen the same problem so I know it is not SuSE only.

Thnaks!
