You're right. In fact, I tried first their linux-2.2 driver, which had
no source code with it. Indeed, the lab machine was running a 2.2 kernel.

I then found about linux-gpib, and moved the board to a 2.4 machine
for testing since there was apparently no 2.2 driver available. Thus,
I did not look at the ines 2.4 driver because I thought there
absolutely no source code of the driver available. It looks like there
is now only ieksys.o whose source code is not available.

OK. I will have a look at their source code and try their 2.4 driver.
After a quick look, they seem to do the pci_find_device with the same
values as me so that call shoulsd succeed but you are right that they
seem to different things with different boards.

I guess I need to have a closer look at that.

I have fallen too often into that trap not to immune now :-)

By the way, I have got in touch with INES support this week. Their
linux developer is on vacation this week, but should come back to me
next week. Do you want me to suggest them that they should help you
more ?
