Hi,

There is a gpib beta driver for Linux. You can use the AT and PCI interfaces. And there is a separate driver for the ENET interfaces.

Here is the link where you can download the driver for linux, and get more info:

Check this out if you want open source stuff:

The NI suite I received from NI includes an RPM for GPIB. It is installed in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ and so if installed, should run on boot. If it doesn't then you need to run, in su mode# service gpib start

I have run everything NI successfully on the Mandriva distro.

I have to admit that it took two years of asking to receive the CDROM from NI. 😞
