[srslte-users] UE attached but without IP

Thu Feb 14 09:56:07 UTC 2019

Hey Eduardo!

Could you repeat the experiment with two changes, first could you set the
log level to "info" in both the enb and ue. (all_level = info in the conf)
and second could you set the n_prb = 50 in the enodeb?

Thanks,
Justin
