#!/usr/bin/env python """ The usrp2 recovery app: When the usrp2 has an unknown or bad ip address in its eeprom, it may not be possible to communicate with the usrp2 over ip/udp. This app will send a raw ethernet packet to bypass the ip layer. The packet will contain a known ip address to burn into eeprom. Because the recovery packet is sent with a broadcast mac address, only one usrp2 should be present on the interface upon execution. This app requires super-user privileges and only works on linux.
