Re: [Linux-gpib-general] another try

[frank m. h. <fm...@st...>]

Oops, the driver expects the board_type to be 'atgpib' instead of
'ni_isa'.  It's changed to 'ni_isa' in CVS now, or you can just change
your gpib.conf to use 'atgpib'.  Although, 3.1.2 does have a potentially
nasty race bug which might cause problems during reads, depending on how
fast your device's gpib chip operates.
