[Discuss-gnuradio] proposed change to ugen to enable USRP to work well on NetBSD

2006-05-03 Thread Greg Troxel
At BBN we are working on a project involving teams of cognitively-controlled software radios, funded by the US government. As part of this, we will be using GNU Radio on NetBSD. Due to the current implementation of ugen(4) (generic USB devices), reads from the USRP are not pipelined and transfer r
