Just got my USB ASICminer running on an Anker USB 3.0 hub using cgminer-nogpu v3.1.1. So it can be done. Here's my .bat file txt.

Code:

C:\Users\my name\Desktop\cgminer-3.1.1-windows\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o http://rr.btcmp.com:8332 -u XXX -p YYY --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S \\.\COM3

It worked after repeatedly installing these drivers:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/
http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx

Keep doing it until the "(COM3)" appears after the "Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge"

If "(COM3)" is not visible for 1 USB device, cgminer can't see it.

This is coming from an excited noob miner. I DID IT!!!

Can't wait for my other 5 to come in the mail.

It definitely works with 3.1.1. The question is whether it works with 3.2.1 or not. I have the same config, btw, with an Anker USB 3.0 hub.

I read somewhere that the Anker 3.0's wouldn't work with cgminer. Not trying to be smart, but why should we even care if it doesn't work with 3.2.1 or higher. If it works, it works....right?
