Thanks. It seems to "work" good enough (I mean it crashes in runtime over this and
that not yet implemented :)

However there's one thing which still puzzles me:

host/lib/usrp/dboard/db_unknown.cpp contains following:

UHD_STATIC_BLOCK(reg_unknown_dboards) {
    dboard_manager::register_dboard(0xfff0, &make_unknown_tx, "Unknown TX");
    dboard_manager::register_dboard(0xfff1, &make_unknown_rx, "Unknown RX");
}

It's pretty obvious what this code does but where do those _magic_ numbers come from?
Should I burn something into particular address in dboard eeprom?
Should I override some function to return special values?

That was just example. For instance I do not want to umtrx_iface if I could use
usrp2_iface - because devices are rather close I think I can get away with this. Time
will tell though.
