I received my 4 units a few days ago.  Thank you.

I had trouble getting it to work with cgminer right away. So I was using BitMinter for a few days at first.

The default Windows cgminer builds appear to require OpenCL.dll installed on the system.  I built from source without that dependency, but still couldn't get it to work.  It appears that for com ports above 9, you have to list them in the arguments as  -S \\.\comXX. instead of -S comXX. This was in the README.  I should have read it more closely at the beginning.  It's working fine now on my Windows desktop.

Cgminer is much less resource intensive than BitMinter, which ran under Java.  I also have an Asus RT-N16 router with TomatoUSB firmware on it with Optware installed.  I've read about people running cgminer under OpenWrt.  Anyone know how to get cgminer running under Tomato?
