Florian -

Please don't e-mail the same question to the list in multiple threads - it
actually makes it more difficult for people to help you in a coherent
manner.

Switching between RX and TX on the XCVR daughterboard should have very
minimal overhead - certainly not 6 ms.  As soon as it sees the first TX
packet, it should automatically switch.

It is possible that tunnel.py is not properly closing the TX stream, and
thus confusing the USRP.  Your colleague might be on to something - have
you looked through the tunnel.py source to see how it is handling the TX
packets?

Cheers,
Ben
