Download all the kernel files with apt-get download off that machine re. that kernel version, then install them on your 3.x box. See if that works.

Interesting.  I've done the download on the desktop (LL 2.8 64 bit).

The files are in *.deb format.  I suppose I just run each *.deb file on the laptop (LL 3.4 64 bit).  Is there a particular order I need to follow?

Re: E/Port, 130W Simple Port Replicator for Latitude E-Family - Valtam - 08-10-2017

Code:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

should be fine. You can always run:

Code:
sudo apt-get install -f

if you need to.

It booted to a login screen.  Took some tweaking, but I now have both monitors working with the docking station.

I assume it's okay to remove the 4.4.0-89 kernel, and this 3.13.0-126-generic will get kernel updates using Menu->Favorites->Install Updates?  Or do I have to do sudo apt-get install linux-generic?

You can remove the 4.4.0-89 kernel if you like. I'm not sure if you'll get updates, I would guess no as this kernel is built for Trusty. Let us know if you do, will be interesting.
