[Discuss-gnuradio] finding a usrp... Kind of working.

[Mattias Kjellsson]

Hi list,

I have a small problem with my usrp usb- interface. I can't really 
figure out how to detect my usrp correctly.

When I connect the usrp I can access it from root, but not from a user 
in the usrp- group.

I think I have checked and double checked "everything", but apparently 
there is something I'm missing.

As far as I can tell, udevd should detect the usrp and set the 
permissions specified in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-usrp.rules. I tried to 
rename the rule- file to 10-usrp.rules (as spec in wiki), but that 
didn't make any difference. (I use the name 40-xxx for reasons specified 
in /etc/udev/rules.d/README).

I have tried to restart the udevd- daemon/rebooted the computer, several 
times but I can't really get it to work properly...

Bellow follows the output of some relevant stuff I tried.

/etc/udev/rules.d$ grep usrp *
40-usrp.rules:ACTION=="add", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}="fffe", 
SYSFS{idProduct}=="0002", GROUP:="usrp", MODE="0660"

/etc/udev/rules.d$ lsusb

Bus 007 Device 009: ID fffe:0002           <--- USRP- device, right?!

Bus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 

/dev/bus/usb/007$ ls -l
total 0
crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 768 2009-01-15 12:56 001
crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 776 2009-01-15 12:56 009 <- USRP- device, 
but why aren't the permissions set from the rule- file?

/etc/udev/rules.d$ dmesg | tail
...
[  951.886074] usb 7-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and

There must be something I have done incorrect, but what might that be? I 
realize this may be a bit off- topic, but seeing how you all got it to 
work... As I said earlier, feel free to advice on things to try...

Best regards,
