Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] find_usrps only succeed when an sniffer is ON

[Jorge Miguel]

Michael,

Thanks for your answer. My interface is completely 'up' after both
commands (promisc up and -promisc). But host computer and USRP2 can
only communicate when my network is in promiscuous mode.

I connect both, host computer and USRP2 through a direct connection
with a 1 Gb ethernet wire (no switches)

I only have one Ethernet interface in my host computer (eth0) and
permissions con /usr/bin/usrp2_socket_opener
are set to 4775.

I still cannot figure out what the problem is.
