Some more information on this. I've figured out that after the 30 seconds the
VM network stack (I guess) throws an ICMP destination port unreachable packet
which looking at the usrp firmware will kill the stream. There's no reason for
the ICMP message since hundreds of packets to port 4140 precede the message.
I guess its a long shot but maybe someone out there has seen this with ubuntu
10.04 in vmware? Thanks
