A question for those of you running these block erupters on their raspberry pi:
Where in /dev/ do you find these?  Is it /dev/ttyUSB1 or /dev/bus/usb/ or somewhere like that?  Does some driver need to be installed for them to show up?  I plan on trying to use bfgminer first with the -S all option.

They will show up as /dev/ttyUSBx. No need to install a driver, the USB2Serial driver is preinstalled on a rpi. Smiley
I dont know if it would make a difference but do you have any recommendations for a USB hub that i could use with a raspberry pi? One that can power at least four of these block erupters.
Please and thank you!
Not sure if I should recommend my powered hub here. This might start some discussion as it's cheap and backfeeding my rpi (model B revision 2)... With other words you do not need to connect a µUSB power adapter to your rpi. Even if this should not be a problem with a model B revision 2, backfeed on your own risk.

There is a list with recommended powered hubs: http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals#Powered_USB_Hubs

However, hashing here with a rpi, four Block Erupers, a WiFi dongle, a Lancelot and USB fan connected: Logilink UA0096. Not sure if it's available in the US, I'm located in Germany.

Took a picture some days ago:
