GPIB is terribly device-specific. What board do you intend to use? National Instruments has a so-called driver for their TNT4882 on their web-site. I was never able to get it to even compile, much less work.
I have a driver written for that chip. It's not GPLed, but it could be if there is enough interest. In any event, I could send you the source to try out. Just don't publish it yet. Let me know because I could use additional input for testing. In other words, if asked, I would just say that you are helping to test a driver...
