Adding GPIB device by hostname shows misleading error if ni-488.2 driver is not installed

When on the "Add hardware by address" tab of the "Add Hardware" dialog, adding a GPIB device using its hostname prompts for a password with the text "Password required".  An error appears below the password prompt that reads, "Could not connect. Password required or invalid password." This occurs when the corresponding driver, NI-488.2, is not installed on the system instead of showing a missing driver error. Trying to add it using its IP address or from the "Discovered Hardware" tab shows the expected missing driver error.

Workaround:

Install NI-488.2.
