That is the bfgminer software ... you need to set up a driver first as well.
For Linux, you don't need to install a separate driver, right? It's supposed to be included in the kernel.

Yeah the driver is already included in the kernel Smiley

After much thread searching and lurking I found that the Rpi USB is crap, and that it hates anything above USB2 (even hates some USB2) and a fix is to force the Rpi to only use USB1 by adding “dwc_otg.speed=1” to “cmdline.txt”.

After adding this (running 4 MLD on a orico 10 port USB3 hub with Rpi3) everything seems to be working fine Cheesy I can now go 700+ and so far seems stable, will post back later once it’s had a good run to confirm

Hopefully this will help others having the same problem on a pi

This thread pointed me in the right direction:
