Actually, I need to add some more clarifications: - When I said we moved from "A:0 B:0 C:0 D:0" to "A:0 A:1 B:0 B:1", I meant on master branch. On maint branch, the former is still correct (and will stay like that for the entirety of the 3.11 release cycle). - There still is a bug on maint that'll produce what you saw (and we have a fix for it) Cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ USRP-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ettus.com/mailman/listinfo/usrp-users_lists.ettus.com
