#25 gpib_config crashes with PCI488 (cec_gpib)
I have two Keithley PCI 488 GPIB cards. Two systems,
both cloned, running 2.6.12 (slackware), and linux gpib
3.2.05.
One of the cards works great, not a single problem. We
then ordered a second card, and with an identical
setup, it crashes when running gpib_config. Loading the
modules (cec_gpib, nec7210, gpib_common) is fine, but
the second gpib_config runs I see this output and then
the system hangs:
gpib: (debug) request module returned 256
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:02.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level,
low) -> IRQ 18
plx9050 base address 0xdc00
nec7210 base address 0xd880
Swapping the bad card into either system gives the same
output and hangs. I'm thinking of calling Keithly and
just returning it, but if there are any ideas or
suggestions I'm all open.

Minor update, I installed the latest gpib package (3.2.06),
and I'm getting the same error.
I should also mention that both systems have the same
motherboard/chipset (Intel D845PESV).
This has got to be a bad board, right? What could cause the
gpib_config program to hang a system like this? I've never
had a single problem with my other PCI-488 card.
I fear having to deal with Keithly and them not accepting my
exaplantion since I'm using linux (it came with windows
drivers, hah).

I give up. I setup the same system with a Windows 2000
drive, and installed the drivers that came with it and sure
enough the driver loaded up fine, but when I try to use any
of their utilities to configure the card it locks up the
system. Now I've used their windows package with the other
card and it never locked the system,....this is a bad card.
I send it back to purchasing to get a RMA.

In case anyone cares. A replacement card came from Keithley
and it worked, no problem.
