I'm trying to find information on how to add devices, using switches, but can't seem to find anything. Just how to add devices after the BFGminer is already running.
Need to manually add all my Erupters because BFGminer sees some of them as ICAs but three show up as BEEs.

If you are only using erupters, then -S erupter:all should find them as BES also the addition of --no-submit-stale may grab you a few extra clock cycles.
Was hoping for something like that other miner-program-that-shall-not-be-named. Where you can specific the COM ports. But for this it would be the ttyUSB ports.
I can't just use the 'erupter:all' because I also have a BFL unit and it will not start.
And I pretty much
have to use BEE because ICA results in about a 22% HW error rate, whereas, BEE results in about 5%. This from a mining session that lasts about 6 days. So it's pretty much screwing me over.
The alternative is to manually add all 18 erupters...by hand. Every single start up.....on Linux.
((hurrah, lsusb, and figure out which ports are which.))
