I did not have it installed, so I did so, then started it. The 'enable'
command gave me an error, thatI didn't understand much of:

	The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy,
	RequiredBy, Also, Alias settings in the [Install] section, and
	DefaultInstance for template units). This means they are not
	meant to be enabled using systemctl. Possible reasons for
	having this kind of units are: 1) A unit may be statically
	enabled by being symlinked from another unit's .wants/
	or .requires/ directory. 2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a
	helper for some other unit which has a requirement dependency
	on it. 3) A unit may be started when needed via activation
	(socket, path, timer, D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl
	call, ...). 4) In case of template units, the unit is meant to
	be enabled with some instance name specified.

Finally, I moved the cable from the compute to the dock, then rebooted.
When the system came back up there was no network at all - no ethernet,
no wifi. I moved the cable from the dock back to the computer and
ethernet came up.

So two problems:

	1) The ethernet port in the dock is not communicating with the
	computer.
	2) The wifi has never worked, and does not even appear with the
	ifconfig command.

I'm off to see if my duck-duck internet friends can shed any light on
these issues.
