Alternate docking station for the Dell Precision M3800? (Re: The Dell Precision M3800 Laptop)

The computer shop which suggested to me the Dell Precision M3800 laptop
suggests that the E-port with 210W adapter
(http://accessories.ap.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=my&l=en&s=dhs&cs=mydhs1&sku=450-14000) be used with the laptop.

I googled for Linux support for this adapter, but found no information.
About using 3 displays with the laptop (2 + laptop's own, or 3
external), it seems to be possible according to:
http://superuser.com/questions/369488/will-the-e-port-plus-laptop-docking-station-allow-me-to-use-three-viewports-moni

Does anyone have experience using it with Linux?
BTW there is another model with confusingly similar name and more
connections:

Thanks,
