NI PCI 5112 digitiser card: information request, if it is possible

Hello everybody, 

My name is Carlo Ferri and I am looking for information about the
National Instruments PCI 5112 board. At the institution I work for, we
are in the process of buying such a card. However, National Instruments
do not provide any GNU/Linux driver and I have seen that the PCI 5112 is
not supported by Comedi. That can be a serious problem for me because I
reckon that in a near future I would probabily like/need to use it with
RTAI and/or RT-Linux. 
The NI PCI 5112 card is going to be supported by comedi in a near future
(months)?
If not, what could I do? Do you please have any suggestion?
I am a beginner in the data acquisition field and I have no idea of how
I could develop a driver by myself, in the very worst case. About my 
Programming: I have some experience with MS VC++ for optimisation
algorithms (about one year) and that's it. That is, I am not confident
in my programming skill at all.
In the worst case I have not other chance than to develop the driver by
myself, Where could I start from ? Any suggestion ?

Thank you for your time.

Regards

Carlo
