PCI-GPIB card not found in linux 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl Fedora Core 1

I am trying to install the nigpib driver on a Fedora Core 1 installation of linux (kernel 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.) The installation script reports the following errors:

Your kernel appears to be configured properly to build NI-GPIB for Linux.
Do you want to proceed? [yn] y

make: `nigpib.o' is up to date.
Copied nigpib.o driver to modules directory /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/char

Probing for PCI-GPIB.
No PCI-GPIB boards detected.

You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

-----
I have moved the PCI-GPIB card to the first PCI slot with no differences in the error messages I recieve. When I run dmesg I recieve the following information:

unable to get major 31 for gpib
unable to get major 31 for gpib
unable to get major 31 for gpib
unable to get major 31 for gpib
unable to get major 31 for gpib

Any help would be appreciated.
