(Sorry if this has been discussed, searching for Bitminter and temperature or hashes per second has just lead me to discussions of Bitminter's features.)

When using BitMinter with my BFL Jalapeno on Windows 7, I get to see the speedometer fire up and report the hashes per second, and I also get a readout on the device's temperature.

Now that I've moved the device to a simple Linux machine, BitMinter still identifies the device and launches it as a miner, but it constantly reports 0 hashes per second and provides no temperature data.

It is definitely mining, stats on bitminter are increasing, so this is really just a pretty minor thing, but I was wondering if it was a sign of something deeper, like a faulty USB cable or a missing Linux driver or anything.

Has anyone seen this behavior?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

(and apologies if this is really easy to find for people who know their way around the forums a little better )
