Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] usrper fails in usb_claim_interface

[mgray]

Are you physically plugged into a USB 2.0 port?

A system may have multiple of USB ports, but not all of them are 2.0.  
Many will be USB 1.1 (high-speed 12mbps) devices.

If you run usbtree, you can verify your connection.  The following is an 
example of the USRP connected to an USB 2.0 port.

address@hidden ~]$ usbtree
/:  Bus 05.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=uhci_hcd/2p, 12M
/:  Bus 04.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=uhci_hcd/2p, 12M
/:  Bus 03.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ohci_hcd/2p, 12M
/:  Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ohci_hcd/3p, 12M
/:  Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ehci_hcd/5p, 480M
    |__ Port 1: Dev 15, If 0, Class=vend., Driver=none, 480M
    |__ Port 1: Dev 15, If 1, Class=vend., Driver=none, 480M
    |__ Port 1: Dev 15, If 2, Class=vend., Driver=none, 480M
