Need a Linux 2.4 kernel driver in the next 0-4 months

I have an important monitoring system that is controlled by a Linux box currently running a 2.2 kernel. In the next 0-4 months, it will be upgraded to Redhat 7 (2.4 kernel). I can delay the upgrade, but not stop it. Who do I see about developing a driver for this?

Do a search on the NI website for "0EF9PKEO" (a document on Linux driver
support). There's some 3rd party drivers at Linux Labs. You could also get
the NI DDK and roll your own.

We have a Linux GPIB 0.8 driver that does support the 2.4 kernel. You can obtain this driver from

ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/gpib/linux/

The file name is nigpib-linux-0.8.tar.gz, and it is a BETA driver. This means it may or may not work for you, but it has worked for our developers. If you have more questions, please contact us at http://www.ni.com/support for additional help.
