UHD error on first connection

GNU Radio
1

Hi Guys,

When I boot up my computer and try to connect to an USRP2 node, then
the first connection never works, but subsequent ones are working
perfectly.

  1. uhd_find_devices always works:

linux; GNU C++ version 4.6.3; Boost_104800; UHD_003.005.004-5-g6bb62ea3

– UHD Device 0

Device Address:
type: usrp2
addr: 192.168.10.2
name:
serial: 322

  1. but uhd_usrp_probe does not work at the first try:

linux; GNU C++ version 4.6.3; Boost_104800; UHD_003.005.004-5-g6bb62ea3

– Opening a USRP2/N-Series device…
– Current recv frame size: 1472 bytes
– Current send frame size: 1116 bytes

UHD Error:
Control packet attempt 0, sequence number 1:
RuntimeError: no control response, possible packet loss

UHD Error:
Control packet attempt 1, sequence number 2:
RuntimeError: no control response, possible packet loss

UHD Error:
Control packet attempt 2, sequence number 3:
RuntimeError: no control response, possible packet loss
Error: RuntimeError: link dead: timeout waiting for control packet ACK

  1. my system is

Linux node1-2.sb2.orbit-lab.org 3.5.0-43-generic #66~precise1-Ubuntu
SMP Thu Oct 24 14:52:23 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  1. pinging the usrp2 node does not help, no matter what I do, I can
    never access the usrp2 right away, only on the second and subsequent
    try.

Any idea what could cause this?
