Hi,

I just installed Ubuntu Cinnamon 26.04 LTS (kernel 7.0.x) on an old ASUS 
M5A97 AM3+ mobo to use a couple NI PCI-GPIB cards that I got off eBay 
for $30

The minimum video card that seems to work is a GT 1030 for a supported 
driver.  Even though it is PCIe 3.0, it is backward compatible in a 2.0 
slot.

$ sudo apt-get install gpib-user-tools libgpib-dev

That got me most of the way for all the user-space items.  There is no 
gpib-dkms package.  gpib_config fails to open a device

Is this part build from source?
