"""
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.
