Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] question regarding "eth0: socket"

[Milo Wong]

Thank you for your fast response. If I only use USRP( not USRP2), this should not be a problem, right? Since USRP has nothing to do with eth0:socket

There are three things needed to use the USRP2 as a non-root user:

1) The group 'usrp' must exist and the non-root user must be a member of it.

2) The file $(prefix)/bin/usrp2_socket_opener must be owned by root:usrp

3) The same file must have mode 04750 set on it.
