Hi,
maybe a little stupid question, but i didn't find an answer anywhere:
Can I use the Asicminer usb sticks on linux and which mining software do i need to use?
Do I need some special drivers or stuff like that?

Greetings

No special drivers, as long as libusb is installed.  Some have problems with certain linux builds, kano is getting close to figuring out the libusb version in those instances.

Running a bunch on xubuntu 12.04 with cgminer 3.3.1 - no problems here.

Cgminer with libusb.
This is what I use. I get 335 Mh/s on each stick with no issues.

Asicminer USB? Uh, please do the math. I don't think its worth really, I have one because I just want to mine on something. And I made a little profit on selling a BFL product.

Raspbian + cgminer 3.1.1 here.  I didn't have much luck with the libusb-based versions.
