I bought them from Tom at btcfpga ... not sure what the correct website is for him because as soon as we placed our orders, he changed servers or something. Wait, just found the link:
http://modminerquadstore.com/
Oh, and battmann and I bought ours new from that store.

@JonSnow Where did you get your quads? did you get them used?
Curious about this as well.

It sounds like the quadminer may need to be flashed with firmware so that the drivers can be setup; type lsusb on your prompt to see what USB devices you have installed, check with your supplier what is the ID and vendor codes that the quadminer should have. If the supplier states different vendor ID's and product ID, then it is probably that, but check with vendor first as my experience revolves around ZTEX boards.
Have you followed the https://www.modminerquad.com/index.php?title=Setup_Instructions Linux Setup Instructions?
If so, can you explain how far you got and what was happening?

Yes, I've followed those instructions all the way through. When I enter "./bfgminer -o mining.eligius.st:8337 -O 1bitcoinaddress" (with my bitcoin address, of course), bfgminer does start up but it doesn't detect the FPGAs - it only detects the cpu.
I know that with cgminer, you need to compile it with --enable-modminer to make it work.
It might be similar with bfgminer. I understand the two share a lot of code.
I think you also need the ftdi_sio module to be present. 'sudo modprobe ftdi_sio'
Also, unless you have libudev support compiled in, you'll need to specify the device manually '-S /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /dev/ttyUSB1' etc.

I tried the --enable-modminer command, but must not have done so at the right point in the process. Tom (of btcfpga) has offered to ssh into my system to get them running for me.

I recently received my modminer quad, have set it up, have set up Ubuntu, and have set up BFGMiner 3.0. BFGMiner seems to run just fine, but it doesn't detect my FPGA cards. Being new to Linux, I'm not exactly sure how to approach this issue.
Can anyone offer any advice?
The MMQ is connected via USB, but BFGMiner just detects the CPU for mining, not the FPGAs.
Sorry if this is stupid - I've looked and haven't found any help. It's probably just something simple I'm missing but, like I mentioned, I'm new to Linux / Ubuntu.
Thank you in advance!
