Hello everyone.... I just got my 2 new blue furys yesterday and I see after 26 pages here, I'm pretty late to the party-- but I'd appreciate some help...

I've already set up bfgminer on a box with Linux Mint 13 Maya w/XFCE4 and have been mining with a Jalapeno since May...

I've tried the simple ways I've found here to add in my new pieces, but bfgminer is still not finding them. I've found references to assigning COM ports and whatnot....and I remember having to do something like that to make my machine see my Jalapeno, but now I can't find the threads or instructions I used then, so a little help finding the correct post would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. (I'm slowly making my through these posts, but haven't found the 'magic' one yet.)

Thanks in advance.
