Re: DisplayLink USB 3.0 DL-3x00 driver problem?

Minimum kernel version for this driver is 3.16 but it looks like you have booted the system with an old version of linux-lts.

I have this working in Ubuntu 15.04 (kernel 3.19) at work but I am yet to get it working under Arch. Will let you know if I make progress when I try again.
