Actually, the WinUSB drivers are a lot easier and less annoying than in windows... so perhaps I'll just stick with cgminer on *nix.
Heh, that's a funny thing to say. WinUSB drivers on linux... think about what you just said (hint WINusb.) There is no such thing on linux, cgminer just talks directly to the linux kernel usb interface and doesn't need any driver at all.

Yeah, I don't know how it works.  I do know that in order to build cgminer, I needed to apt-get install winusb to resolve a dependency.  I guess I'd say "I'm glad I don't have to worry about WinUSB drivers"? Smiley
