The traditional API is no longer under active development, and newer
cards are *only* supported under UHD. But also, UHD uses
a somewhat different approach to USB interaction, so it's useful to
get a "differential analysis" to help see what's going on.

The error message you're seeing indicates basically that the kernel
thinks the USB device is no longer there--which is not something
that any amount of userland software should be capable of bringing
about by itself. This indicates to me that there's some kind
of bug in the USB drivers in the kernel, or perhaps the USB machinery
in the FX2 on the USRP1. A big part of the USB machinery on
the FX2 is *not* handled by the firmware, but rather by a hardware
USB engine deep in the guts of the FX2 chip.

Takes you to a good starting point for UHD.
