There are a few folks who have done some experimenting with the USRP
and OSX.  At this point what it's going to take to get it working is
somebody who's willing to do a bit of IOKit hacking, most likely in
user-mode, to build the functional equivalent of fusb_linux for darwin.

The current darwin libusb implementation fires off an asynchronous
read or write and then immediately blocks waiting for it to complete.

If this sounds like something you're interested in, I have additional
info and suggestions as to how to proceed.

The basic issues are the same as discussed in the message yesterday
about NetBSD and the USRP.
