Well the original intention of the uhd_find_devices was just to spit
errors. Its purely accidental that it prints discovered devices. :-)

We are trying to determine if the re-enumeration delay is longer than
the software expects on freebsd. Do you mind trying the sleep patch to
prove/disprove this idea?

Recall the hash discussion...thats exactly what the software does.
Firmware and FPGA images are loaded automatically. The user does not
need to worry about it.

Does anyone mind moving this discussion over to usrp-users since its
about the intricacies of fw loading and not about the orginal subject?
