The binary package install adds the group 'usrp' and allows members of that group to access the USRP, but you need to add your userid to that group (this is in the wiki page you used.) 2) You have a physical cabling issue (such as not using a USB2.0 standard rated cable). -Johnathan _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
