Please note that with the original SD-card, despite the lights being on, I don't see anything going out of my machine when I call find_usrps (using wireshark). But when I connect the USRP2 to my laptop without the SD-card, the light on the ethernet interface on the laptop goes on and for every call to find_usrps I can see an ethernet packet going out (on wireshark).

I will re-do this with a new SD-card and report the results.

I highly appreciate your time.
