Jonathon,
The source code for both USRP2 and N210 was updated at the same commit with the
new FPGA compat number (78eab419fdcdc18f4da8fd33f267af6c4d0494f6).
Hoever because nothing changed *functionally* on USRP2 someone forgot to
re-build USRP2 images for inclusion in the updated binary image package.
You are not affected because you build your FPGA from source…it only affects
(typical) users who get pre-built FPGA's from Ettus.
