I am very very dissapointed that Displaylink does not support USB 3.0 under linux!

I will not be buying any products, and am advising all linux clients not to either. Thankfully I figured this out before I ordered my new laptop, because this means I won't be purchasing an X1 carbon (I was counting on usb 3.0 working).

Seems displaylink has a monopoly on the market, and just wants to secure their pockets. Very bad and I won't be buying any displaylink product until the protocol is opened up so that systems other than Windows can utilize the hardware. This includes any USB 2.0 products, or any other Pluggable/Displaylink related products.
