Agilent 82357b Driver

Yesterday I installed the latest 'Agilent Connection Expert' software and tried to use an Agilent 82357B USB IEEE488/GPIB Adapter. But the USB device driver seems to have a bug. Agilent 82357B Driver Installation is a Shareware software in the category Miscellaneous developed by Agilent Technologies. The latest version of Agilent 82357B Driver Installation is currently unknown.


System: CentOS 6.4 32-bit
CentOS 6.4 64-bit
kernel: 2.6.32-358.23.2
SHELL: tcsh
1) download linux gpib tarball (the URL points to 3.2.17)
As of today (11.25.2013) the latest version is 3.2.19.
I did not verify if the '19' works OK, because, the '17'
works for me with flying colors.
Very likely, the '19' is fine too... but, as I already said,
I did not verify it.
