The NI boxes are most certainly not happy with VXI-11s – we haven’t been using it with the /1000 yet, but with the /100 that is used
frequently on one of the instruments here we actually have an NI VISA asyn driver that is available here:

We’re likely to be using it with a /1000 later this year, but it shouldn’t need much in the way of correcting for this.

Another issue is that it looks like you are trying to use the drvAsynIPPort driver to talk to the
NI GPIB-ENET/1000. It don’t think that will work. Most Ethernet to GPIB devices are VXI-11 compliant, and so can use the EPICS VXI-11 driver. But the NI GPIB-ENET is not VXI-11 compliant,
it uses a National Instruments proprietary protocol.
There was a tech-talk thread that discussed this several years ago. You should look at all of the messages in this thread.
