can: CAN Network device driver and Netlink interface
The CAN network device driver interface provides a generic interface to
setup, configure and monitor CAN network devices. It exports a set of
common data structures and functions, which all real CAN network device
drivers should use. Please have a look to the SJA1000 or MSCAN driver
to understand how to use them. The name of the module is can-dev.ko.
Furthermore, it adds a Netlink interface allowing to configure the CAN
device using the program "ip" from the iproute2 utility suite.
For further information please check "Documentation/networking/can.txt"
