So far people seem to run GNU Radio as users, so there are probably
hidden assumptions about the environment that need to be tracked down
and fixed.  We were able to make it run as a daemon to receive 802.11
and inject the packets via a tap interface (on NetBSD).  But, we
weren't trying to do this on a ro filesystem.

truss is probably useful to find the failing system call.
