Joe,
So I scratched my head about this a little late last night and looked back
through the development repository for the N210 and as far as I can tell
there was never customer facing FPGA code for a Rev2 N210. Chatting with
Matt this morning he shared my feeling that a Rev2 wasn't sold to
customers, so I'm curious if you have a unit that has a factory label that
says N210Rev2 or if you have seen "usrp2 rev2.0" on the PCB (which can be
missleading).

Also have you tried booting into the safe image and verifying that it at
least pings on 192.168.10.2?

If we can conclusively identify which rev of h/w you have I can probably
help further.

Ian
