Yes, but is it SUPPOSED to be an ISA scsi/ethernet, or PCI, or what,
and what kind of controller is it?

To figure out what is going wrong, we first have to know exactly how
the device is supposed to appear first.

We also need to know if the bus in the expansion dock is on the other
side of a bridge, since you might not have your kernel configured to
understand that bridge.
