do UHD binaries support network mode

I am currently trying to interface with a E310 USRP and while I was able to
successfully find the device using uhd_find_devices and uhd_usrp_probe when
I built UHD from source on a virtual machine the same commands seem to find
nothing when run from a vm that installed from
http://files.ettus.com/binaries/uhd/uhd_003.008.005-release/. is this
because the UHD binaries do not support network mode or is there some other
problem?

Hello James,

The binary releases do not have the network mode support included. The
description of building UHD with network mode support is described here.
http://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_e3x0.html#e3x0_network_mode

Two key points are that you need to exactly match the version of UHD on the
host to the E310 and that the network mode throughput is much smaller than
what can be handled onboard the E310 directly, only a few MHz of bandwidth
can be transported over the network.

Regards,
Derek
