It's working fine on my Latitude D800.  The only bits of hardware that
aren't quite right are the PCTel winmodem, and the EHCI USB controller.
The ehci0 driver attaches fine, but the machine will panic in the dock
with it loaded (the dock has a hub built in) or with the USB floppy drive
plugged in.
