Ok, thanks for the info Device is a 0xc801 and vendor is 0x1093. tnt4882.h was already set for that device, so didn't change anything. I built the 2 packages. At the first glance, no compilation error. However, at the very top of the compilation messages, there is an error: "ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid. include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing." I checked these 2 files and they are not missing. The GPIB install doc says that the linux kernel should be recompiled. That's something I haven't done. Is that necessary?
