We will figure it out but you've been very helpful. Thank you.  I will try the regvalue and see if it has a positive effect on hw errors.

For future reference I believe we still can use vi /etc/config/cgminer but theres no reason to as its in web interface.  Because that worked for me using vi when I changed my clock value and didnt touch timeout or regvalue which i will when i get home.  But I do have an extranonce copy of cgminer installed.  Though I dont think that matters.
