Did you change anything on the machine you were using, such as
the
kernel? If so, what version of the kernel are you using?
I believe there was a regression in the USB stack in 2.6.15.

Well no I did not change anything. Anyway, it worked this morning. I
think it might have something to do with the module. But I am also
using a USB keyboard and mouse. So I am not sure of the reason.
I have another question.
Lets say I am trying to do time based transmission. For example, I want
to send out a frame every 2 secs. For a framer I write, how would I
know that all the bits related to that frame has actually been sent out
from the usrp buffers..., I need to ensure the whole frame has gone
before I stop transmission. I do not know how I can keep track of the
contents of the buffers.
Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks
