Getting Linux GPIB PCMCIA driver from sourceforge to work

Hello,
i have a GPIB PCMCIA card and would like it to work with Linux. I've downloaded the driver from:
http://linux-gpib.sourceforge.net/
which apparently should work with the NI card. There are no complaints from the system during the installation process. But its not working. Has anyone managed to get this linux driver working successfully? Is there a trick?
kind regards
nav

I've used the same module you must be trying to load, tnt4882.o, on my
PCI-GPIB+ card. Used it with LabVIEW without too many problems. Never
tried it with the PCMCIA-GPIB card.
You're probably better off posting to the Linux-GPIB mailing list (not
that you shouldn't post here). Mr. Hess and the other developers are very
nice about providing support. When you do post there, ensure you mention
at least the following:
1) output from 'dmesg' after loading the module
2) modifications to your gpib.conf file
3) results of running the administration program 'gpib_config'
4) I forget what the packaged test interface is called but it allows
you run ibread, ibwrite, etc functions. See if that works.
5) all relevant SW versions you're
using
There could be some pcmcia config files to alter but I'm such a newbie to
that stuff. Well, I just looked at the LG ML and there was a recent post:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=4854735&forum_id=2853
"run the configure script with --enable-pcmcia"

    No - your iPhone is a GSM phone and Verizon uses a CDMA network. Completely incompatible device and technology.

    I'd like to know, short of replacing the optical drive, whats is the best way to upgrade to snow leopard 10.6 since it won't read the dvd instal disc. I have access to a buddy's 2009 mac book with a working optical drive. In the instructions of the 10.6 manual it says this can be done but the machines have to be on the same network in which case how do i do that or can this be done in an easier way, without incurring aditional cost? thank you for any help

    Take your disc over to your friend's house. Meanwhile get yourself an 8 GB USB flash drive. Clone the DVD to the flash drive:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4.Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Take the flash drive to your computer and boot it with the flash drive:
    Booting From a USB Flash Drive
    1. Insert the flash drive in a USB port.
    2. Restart the computer.
    3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" button.
    4. Select the flash drive's icon from the display in the startup manager.
    5. Click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Destination means the USB flash drive.
    Source means the installer disc.

  • Will the live drive from an Audigy work with the Live MP3+ 5.1

    i have a li've MP3+ 5., and borrowed a friends audigy plat, but seeing as he will want the card back soon, i was wondering if i could install my MP3+, and connect his li've dri've to it, so when he wants the card back, i just have to remove the li've dri've, will this work ?

    i've looked at the card, and it does have the same connection on it for the ide-type ribbon cable as the audigy does.. even has the 2 missing pins on it to make the connector split in 2 ...

  • Can I interface a Pocket PC with instruments using a GPIB-PCMCIA card?

    Currently, I am trying to interface a Compaq Pocket PC, iPAQ H3870, with some scientific instruments. I would like to be able to issue commands and gather data from the Pocket PC. Right now, I can create Visual Basic programs to issue the GPIB instrument commands on a computer, compile them, and transfer them to the Pocket PC to run them. But I need to connect the Pocket PC to the scientific instruments.
    I was thinking of getting an expansion pack for the Pocket PC with a PC card slot, and then getting a GPIB-PCMCIA card, but then I realized that I would probably still need a way to connect the GPIB-PCMCIA cable to the Pocket PC or something? Would this in anyway work or would I have to try somethin
    g else? I am not familiar with most of these devices, so my understanding of this is limited, so is it possible to accomplish this and if it is, what devices and cables would I need to do it? Thanks.

    Hey Edward,
    If I have your configuration correct, you should be able to connect the cable that comes with the GPIB PCMCIA card directly to the GPIB card and in affect the Pocket PC expansion slot. (Cable Part Number: National Instruments P/N 182362-02, this is a 2 meter PCMCIA to GPIB Cable)
    This has a special flat connector on one end for the PCMCIA Card. The other end is the standard 488 connector you would find on the back of most test/measurement equipment.
    I believe there is also a serial port version of the GPIB PCMCIA cable. But I dont have that one, so I wont swear to it.
    The other issue raised in your question is the DLL, or interface that you will be using. I havent developed in the Pockect PC environment, and truely havent looked for or at
    any Pocket PC Libraries.
    You may find yourself developing some interface LIBs.
    But I will look around and forward what I find, if anything.

  • DLINK 660CT (PCMCIA) Driver - Please Help!

    Does any one know where I can find dlink 660ct driver for solaris 8 06/00 intel?
    I have search the web, but have no luck. or is there a work around for unsupported NIC?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards Dat.

    You should first make sure it's your dlink driver rather than the PCMCIA driver which is known to be broken in Solaris 8 for x86. You can get a good PCMCIA driver for FREE from XI Graphics who provides it at their website: http://www.xig.com and then work on locating a driver for the specific card if you are still having trouble. If you know what chipset the card uses you will stand a much better chance of loacting a driver. You may need to set it up to load by either a forceload statement in /etc/system of by altering the /boot/solaris/devicedb/master file to account for the new device IDs

  • GPIB-PCMCIA drivers for windows ce?

    May i ask if there are any drivers for windows ce or pocket pc 2003? i want to connect my pocket pc using gpib-pcmcia connection.

    Hello,
    At this point in time, National Instruments does not make available a GPIB-PCMCIA driver for any Pocket-PC device. If you have a need for this driver, I would encourage you to let our developers know by going to www.ni.com, clicking on Contact NI, and submitting a product suggestion.

  • Perhaps a missing driver from SCCM pack for x230 (2325)

    We used the Lenovo tool to import W7 x64 drivers for the 2325 model into MDT.
    When connecting a test laptop after deployment to a large external monitor (by VGA), nothing would display on the external monitor and Fn F7 only resulted in a black screen.
    It was resolved by getting the latest video driver from the 2325 support page (g1d625ww.exe)
    At this point, I'll try to find a way to get that driver into MDT individually, but long term, it might be missing from the SCCM pack? (which we had gotten from here http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.p​age?&DocID=DS034785)
    If there's any other detail I can provide, just ask!
    (I'm new to this, so what I'm suggesting could be entirely wrong)

    I believe you may have used the wrong SCCM Driver pack.  The link you provided list the pack for the X230s and the machine type you have is an X230.  The X230 driver pack is here:  http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.p​age?&DocID=DS030230
    It contains the prior version of the driver you mentioned - g1d622ww instead of g1d625ww.  The X230s uses a different driver - g1d652ww.  Perhaps that would account for the issue you encountered.  
    If you would like to manage interim driver releases with MDT (since the SCCM Driver Packs are only refreshed when we refresh our manufacturing preload images) it might be easier to use Update Retriever.  It will let you find drivers by specifying the machine type and OS you are using.  You can select and download drivers to a local repository.  Then you can select drivers to Export to a folder.  You can then use the driver import wizard of MDT to import the driver(s) from that folder.  It will handle picking up the INF files and other required files and adding them to the folder you initiate the import from.  Then you just have to make sure that folder is included in the selection profiles for your deployment.

  • Will the Linux GPIB driver be updated to support PCMCIA cards?

    Kernel 2.4 appears to fully support PCMCIA. Will the NI Linux GPIB driver be updated in the near future? If not, I am considering the INES GPIB card.

    Right now there are no plans to add PCMCIA support to the Linux GPIB driver software, which currently supports AT-GPIB/TNT, PCI-GPIB, and GPIB-ENET/100 products. Adding this support will depend on the scope of demand for it.
    The following page contains information on the currently supported products:

  • I have removed the hard drive from my laptop and connected it to my netbook as an external drive. Now, I can't find or acces my saved Firefox bookmarks on the external drive. How do I get it to display like it did on the original laptop?

    Now that I am using it as an external drive, how do I get the harddrive I removed from my laptop to display like it did when it was still in the laptop , when I connect it to a new computer?. I can't locate my Firefxox bookmarks that I originally saved to the HD when it was in the laptop. The laptop is dead but fortunately I was able to salvage the hard drive. I Need help urgently since I have tons of bookmarked pages and saved passwords that are critical to my work and life. The original laptop that the HD came from has a Windows Vista OS. The netbook I connect the HD to uses Windows XP.

  • After reformatting my 1 Tb WD ext drive and tinkering with the "exclude these items" list, I now get the following error message from Time Machine:Are you sure you want to back up to the same device your original data is on? the WD disk has mounted??

    After reformatting my 1 Tb WD ext drive and tinkering with the "exclude these items" list, I now get the following error message from Time Machine: "Are you sure you want to back up to the same device your original data is on?"  I've reformatted in Disk Utilities...not sure what I did wrong.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Not sure what you mean by "booted" from it.
    If the Mac OS is installed on the external drive, then it's possible to start up from it, just as you do from your internal drive. Please open the Startup Disk preference pane in System Preferences, and verify that your internal drive is selected as the startup disk.
    Assuming that's the case, then it may be that your TM settings have been corrupted. Turn off TM, then move or delete the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist. Turn TM back on, recreate your settings, and try again.

    Unfortunately, that drive is long gone, probably back to the mfr. Drives are not returned when they are exchanged. You can go by and ask them, but the chances are slim to none.

  • How can i get my Powerpc to boot from a PCIe drive

    Hi, I just upgraded my PowerMac G5 Quad 2.5 with 16GB of ram & two 1.8 tyrabite drives. My problem is, I also installed a Velocity solo x2 PCIe card
    for a solid state drive. the system recogizes the drive but I'm having a problem with getting my system to boot from that PCIe card drive. Please if anyone
    can help me I greatly appreciate it.

    If you cannot get the ssd to boot, you can move folders to the ssd.
    Unix command ln  -- The Unix make link command. I have a copy of virtual PC.  It insists on using a folder in my documents folder for saving all of the virtual machine information.  This folder is rather large.  I used the terminal command ln to move the folder to my external hard drive.  Virtual PC had no problem with this move.  I do not think that Mac applications notice the ln redirects. 
    You can use the Unix command ln to redirect a reference to folder on your small partition to a folder on  your larger partition. You need to be careful when you pick the folder. You best avoid any system folder, those folders needed at startup. You could pick some user data folder.   Home folders, that is folders in /Users, are a good choice.  Please try this when you have a full backup.
