And you want to check this for all Dell devices?  Please be model
specific, I doubt a bunch of Dell servers wants to run this code...
Tracking model specific is really going to turn into a giant list never ending
list.

To drill down more specifically, I can match on chassis too.
Does Dell happen to use its own USB Vendor ID for the USB device in
the dock? You could go at this problem from the other direction if it
does have a unique vendor ID.

Unfortunately it's not a Dell specific VID/PID.  I'm asking around to find out
if there is something else identifiable about this dock's NIC (maybe that r8152 
can query).
