Same issue here. Just got my cradle and attempted to use it with the hotspot. Cradle never picks up an IP address. I checked that the hotspot works fine when connected to a computer to validate that the USB port works fine and it does. Also, if I set the hotspot to turn off wifi when connected to a computer it disables the wifi when it is docked. It also charges when on the dock. This does seem to be a firmware issue either on the cradle or the hotspot. There may also be a config in the advanced setup on the hotspot that allows/disallows cradle attachment. I can't see it though because I don't have the MSL code to access the advanced screens. Can aynone here confirm whether that setting exists?
