Actually, you hit the nail on the head! I was not aware that the SD card 
even needed to be plugged in for the USRP2 to work, because I figured 
the bootstrapping code for the ethernet was in an EEPROM or some 
on-board non volatile memory. I figured the SD card was only necessary 
if I wanted to load my own personal custom code on the FPGA.

I just plugged the SD card in and everything works like a charm.

Thanks!
