I have a problem with VISA and GPIB-ENET controllers under UNIX. I can only access controllers numbered 0 to 9 when I add more controllers numbered from 10 and on they are not found as a resource with VISA. Anyone experienced the same? I have extended the number of boards possible to configure with ibconf to 128 boards and devices

Acording to the ReadMe in /opt/NI-488.2 you can use ibconf to create a new /etc/gpibrc that will support 128 boards.
This is for Version 1.2 , it requires you to be superuser.
Try checking this out, not sure if it will help but I would be interested in
knowing since I may be doi ng this in the near future.

I just looked at the Visa Find vi and if you are using the "Easy Find..." then it limits the search to 0-9. You may try using the Normal "Find Resource" and put in the expression GPIB* to see what happens.
Also I am not real sure if it returns anything if there is no device on the ENET.
