I've seen this as the reason for USB problems more than anything else,
typically using cables longer than the spec, or adding extenders, or
using cables not rated for 2.0.  I hadn't correlated it with power
issues, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some ground loop
issue resulting from having the USRP and PC powered from different AC
sources, and/or having different ground levels between the USRP USB
connector and the PC USB connector.  In one case adding a USB 2.0 hub
in series fixed things.
