Thanks for reply.

It seems to be the problem of the promiscuous mode(broadcast&multicast) of the ethernet card...I use wireshark to detect the packet transmission between pc and usrp2 when it plugs in. Surprisingly find_usrps works and both sent and received packets are detected. It looks that the wireshark opens the broadcast and multicast that lets usrp2 run correctly..although I still have not found the reason.

But it at least works:)

This should return the Mac address and any ip address heard

Just to notify, my ethernet works fine -- I could use wired internet to connect 
to the Internet.

Verify that the ethernet card (and cable) work with another device such
as a network switch. The USRP2 should work with any gigabit Ethernet

If the ethtool output you provided is with the USRP2 plugged in and
turned on, then your ethernet card isn't detecting a link. If another
computer works fine with that same USRP2, I suspect the ethernet cable
or your ethernet card as the culprit. You might also try:

sudo ifconfig eth0 up

and see if that affects the result of your ethtool output.

Hi all,

I am new to gnuradio and stuck with the usrp2 connection for several
days... I looked up tens of search results but no solution yet.
Therefore I post my problem and hope someone could give me a hand:

I am running gnu radio 3.2.2 on ubuntu9.10, and I think gnuradio works
fine because dial_tone.py and grc all could be launched correctly.
However, when I plug in USRP2, problems happen:

if I typed in "sudo find_usrps" it says: No USRP2 found.

if I typed "sudo find_usrps -e eth0" it also says No USRP2 found.
(eth0 is what I get when typing in ifconfig)

if I typed in "sudo usrp2_fft.py" t says:

What exactly the problem is?
TO note:
1. python is fine. I ran following process and it did not say error:
    Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec  7 2009, 18:45:15)
    [GCC 4.4.1] on linux2
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
    >>>    from gnuradio import gr
    >>>    from gnuradio import usrp
    >>>    from gnuradio import audio
    >>>    from gnuradio import usrp2
    >>>    exit()

2. could it be the firmware in usrp2? I saw some threads discussing
firmware in SD card. But it seems to run process like usrp2_fft.py
dose not need any firmware.

3. my usrp2 runs fine. I checked it with another computer which could
launch usrp_fft.py correctly. Also, when I power on usrp2, all 6
lights flah and then D and F remain on.

4. my ethernet card should be fine. it is gigabit. here is what it
says when I type in "sudo ethtool eth0":

     Settings for eth0:
      Supported ports: [ TP ]
      Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                              100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
                              1000baseT/Full

                              1000baseT/Full
      Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes

      Supports Wake-on: pumbag
      Wake-on: g
      Current message level: 0x00000001 (1)
      Link detected: no


I am really confused and find no solution on my own. Any suggestion
would be greatly appreciated. I will wait online and provide any
additional information if you need.

sorry for the late response, I have been working on ubuntu for several
days. Thank you for your reply. I just tried this command and nothing
happened, I got the same result as previous.
Could the ethernet card be too new for usrp2 to recognize? I am confused
because I have done every step mentioned in build guide and ran grc well.
