 When I updated to MacOS Sierra osmosdr::device::find stopped finding my NetSDR. This short program shows the problem - 

************************************************
	fprintf(stderr,"I am here\n");
	
	osmosdr::devices_t devs = osmosdr::device::find();
	
	for(int k=0;k<devs.size();++k){
		std::cerr << " k " << k << " "<< devs[k].to_string() << std::endl;
	}
	
	fprintf(stderr,"I am done 2\n");
	
	src = osmosdr::source::make("rfspace=192.168.1.7:50000");

	fprintf(stderr,"I am done 3\n");
	
Output-

***********************************************

The device::find routine locates the three other SDRs that I have plugged in, but not the netSDR. The source::make routine  however finds it without problem. Looking at the search routines, they are similar to the old ones in CuteSDR. Early last year the CuteSDR routines were revised and now work correctly to find the RFspace NetSDR on Sierra and High Sierra.
