Re: [Linux-gpib-general] gpib_config command not found

[carla <ca...@fi...>]

Very likely your board is a Measurement Computing (alias ComputerBoards)
model PCI-488.2 (code 1307:0006, check with lspci -n), not a National 
Instruments. It should be "board_type = cbi_pci"  instead of "ni_pci".
Good luck.
