Linux driver for PCI-GPIB installs ok, but IBCONF misses ...../misc/nigpib.?

[ghh]

Linux driver for PCI-GPIB installs ok
(SUSE Linux 8.1, kernel 2.4.19-4GB
recompiled for module versioning).
However, ibconf and its static version
both fail with an error message

File: /lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/misc/nigpib. Unable to open file

Last part of filename is hidden.

I tried to create a link to where nigpib.o
really is:

ln -s /lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/kernel/drivers/char/nigpib.o /lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/misc/nigpib.o

but it doesn't help.

Hi,

I'm using Debian Linux 2.4.19. The file you mention shows up as nigpib.o in
/lib/modules/2.4.19/misc/nigpib.o

A dot in the begining of the filename indicates that the file is hidden, but the dot shouldn't hide the extension.

Is the extension of other files hidden?.
What driver version are you using? Check:
