[Discuss-gnuradio] ValueError: unable to coerce endpoint while running simple_mac.py

[Jane Chen]

Hi all,

I use gnuradio svn version and USRP1. I modified the simple_mac.py in https://www.cgran.org/browser/projects/bbn_80211/branches/douggeiger. I got an error and used pdb to debug. However, I still cannot solve it. Could anyone please give me some hints how to solve this error?

Thank you,
Jane
