That does indeed work but with one little strangie:

If the USRP is connected and powered up when the boot occurs, the rules 
do not get applied.

This can be fixed with  'devfs rule applyset' or with  /etc/devfs.conf
but it is not clear if one or the other is the 'right thing'.

If the USRP is connected after the boot, the rules are applied when it
is found.


So now I can bring up the machine and USRP, login as user gr, and anything
I run appears to load the firmware as necessary. Then it tries to find the
interface and altinterface and fails:

usrp_open_interface:usb_set_alt_interface: failed
could not set alt intf 2/0: Invalid argument
usrp_basic_rx: can't open rx interface
die: lt-test_usrp_standard_rx: usrp_standard_rx::make

This error occurs in usrp_prims.cc code. I do not know if the altinterface
value of 0 is valid but usb_set_altinterface(udh, 0) returns the error.

Still tracing that out.
