I am getting an error with cgminer 3.2.1; windows7 x64; BFL Jalapeno: "Waiting for USB hotplug devices or press q to quit" I have installed the winUSB drivers. The Jalapeno works fine with BFGminer and the other drivers. Does anyone have any suggestions, as I would prefer to use cgminer?

This has been discussed allot.  Just look back in a few of the recent pages.

A couple of folks have changed the code to add a longer wait and the authors have it fixed in the git tree.  But the fix hasn't been released yet.  So you can compile the code yourself and test it or wait for the next release.

Thanks for the quick reply. I wasn't sure that the wait time issue was related to detecting the device. I will wait patiently for the next release.


EDIT:
With a nudge from conman on the IRC. I was able to get it working. Apparently, the timing issue doesn't exist on windows. I did the following (in case anyone has this problem) :
1) I extracted zadig from the .zip. Previously, I was running from the archive.
2) I unplugged the Jalapeno first, then installed the WCID driver, then pluged the jally in, then installed winUSB.

Hope this helps.
