Description Michael Katzmann 2026-03-11 23:44:43 UTC
The gpib kernel driver, newly promoted in 6.19 (previously it was in the staging area) is not included in the RPM for kernel 6.19 (in Fedora 43).

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/drivers/gpib?h=v6.19.6

Having the kernel driver makes it easier for the user to use the gpib library to control gpib devices.
Without the driver, a dkms module is required to build and install the driver which is not ideal.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 7 Michael Katzmann 2026-03-13 03:46:20 UTC
I confirm that kernel-6.19.7-200.fc43 has the gpib drivers.
I tested it with the gpib user library and gpib devices (using the ni_usb and agilent_82357a drivers) that I have .. it is working.
Many thanks!
