how can I use my NI Analog I/O (6023E) card with GNU C++ under Linux?

I think NI DAQ is the software libraries that allow you to use the cards from C++ programs. However, I could only find it for Windows/Macintosh. I was told that the 6023E card (and some other card that I ordered which does Analog output)would work under Linux. I don't have LabView for Linux or Measurement Studio. All I need is to be able to output a current and read in a current, as well as output on the Digital line. This all needs to be done from a Linux C++ compiler (preferably GNU).

Currently, National Instruments does not provide a DAQ driver for use in the Linux enviroment. However, there are open source drivers developed by the Comedi project that have had success with our DAQ cards.
The following website contains information
about the Comedi driver and a link to the Comedi home page.

For this card you should use the comedilib 0.7.15.
