What does "uhd_find_devices" return for "mgmt_addr" on the USRP? Is the 1
GbE/RJ-45 link connected to the same LAN as the host computer attached to
the USRP?

I'm literally right now working with another customer and Ettus R&D on this
exact same issue and we have determined that the 1 GbE / RJ-45 MGMT link
needs to be up and accessible from the same computer as is connected to the
USRP. If I remove the "mgmt_addr=XX" part of the device args. then the DPDK
link fails; same thing if I disable "eth0" on the USRP, or if I set
"mgmt_addr" to the link that will be overtaken by DPDK.

Worth a try! - MLD
