How do I verify what PCI GPIB driver I'm using?

I have NI-488.2 Software for Solaris 2.x PCI-GPIB
Version 2.2, but when I do a pkginfo on my
Sunblade 100 Workstation running Solaris 8 I see
GPIB-ENET Handler ver. 1.3. Maybe I'm confused,
but are they(the handler and the driver) the same
thing? That being said, my communication is really
slow. This is a new workstation, new PCI card, and
the old SparcStation 10 with the SBus performs better.
I'm not certain of my configuration. The things in
ibconfig look greek to me. Any clues to what I should
try.

You have correctly identified your driver version (2.2). I'm not sure why you are getting slow communication with your new PCI-GPIB card. I would recommend taking a look at the Knowledge Base linked below for more information on getting the fastest GPIB communication possible. Some settings may need to changed in your configuration.
