Could somebody please change the part of the config file that says:
# gp:  National Instruments AT-gpib and AT-gpib/TNT board
to
# gp:  National Instruments AT-gpib/TNT board

The driver doesn't work with the AT-GPIB card, only with the TNT card.

There is a new version of the driver on freebsd.cdrom.com
/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/ 
-rwxr-xr-x  1 ftp  daemon  15391 Mar  1 19:04 gpibdriver0.2.5.tar.gz

I guess you don't have to change the driver to the newer one, but
someone should really change the above thing.  The new driver works much
better though.  (You can do cat </dev/gpib5 and cat >/dev/gpib5  etc...)
Before you could only do input through an ioctl.
Also, the other driver didn't let you set the io address of the card in
the config file.
