Dave, Thanks for the tip. I changed the Makefile per your instructions, but that didn't seem to work. As a workaround, I went into the drive directory and commented out all of the #ifdef(GPIB_CONFIG_PCMCIA) lines and built the kernel and that worksI think. After doing $ sudo gpib_config --minor 0, the output of $ dmesg | grep gpib, shows: [ 16.730076] gpib_common: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
