Re: Fwd: Linux-gpib driver install fails to complete

Christian,

I tried adding that rule, but it does not seem to have worked.

I am guessing that the reason might be because my GPIB device is a 
National Instruments PCI-GPIB+ card rather than a USB device? There is 
no plugging and unplugging so I guess UDEV does not trigger. It was 
worth a try though.

I did wonder about adding a script to rc.d or rc.5 perhaps?

Otherwise I might give the crontab suggestion a try.

Regards.
