Because we are not able to contact original author Arnaud Westenberg,
and we have put piece of work to bugfixes and enhancements of the
driver, we decided to offer our latest version to more tests.
Please, if you know Arnaud's new address, contact us.
Most of new bugs belongs to 

    Pavel Pisa pisa@cmp.felk.cvut.cz 
and Tomasz Motylewski, T.Motylewski@bfad.de

Main enhancements:
  interrupts service cleanup and partial redesign
  deep module build redesign
  support for select
  preliminary support for 2.5.48 (UP only now)
  CAN Ethernet proxy

Version 0.7  6 Aug 2001

Modified version can-0.7.1-pi2.2

This version adds new Makefile system.
DEVFS support
Select/poll support for read/write events
Preliminary cleanups for 2.5.xx kernels,
it cannot work with SMP 2.5.xx until we get rid off
CLI ans STI global directives

Changes made by Pavel Pisa pisa@cmp.felk.cvut.cz as preliminary
study for OCERA Real Time CAN/CANOpen project ORTCAN

COMPILATION
Just type 'make' at the command line and it should compile without errors.

INSTALLATION.
Currently there's no installation procedure, just compile and load the driver.

LOADING
To load the driver type:
# insmod can.o hw='your hardware' irq='irq number' io='io address' <options>
Example: # insmod can.o hw=pip5 irq=4 io=0x8000

The hw argument can be one of:
- pip5, for the pip5 computer by MPL
- pip6, for the pip6 computer by MPL
- pccan-q, for the PCcan-Q ISA card by KVASER
- pccan-f, for the PCcan-F ISA card by KVASER
- pccan-s, for the PCcan-S ISA card by KVASER
- pccan-d, for the PCcan-D ISA card by KVASER
- nsican, for the CAN104 PC/104 card by NSI
- cc104, for the CAN104 PC/104 card by Contemporary Controls
- aim104, for the AIM104CAN PC/104 card by Arcom Control Systems
- pc-i03, for the PC-I03 ISA card by IXXAT
- pcm3680, for the PCM-3680 PC/104 card by Advantech
- m437, for the M436 PC/104 card by SECO
- bfadcan for sja1000 CAN embedded card made by BFAD GmbH
- pikronisa for ISA memory mapped sja1000 CAN card made by PiKRON Ltd.
- template, for yet unsupported hardware (you need to edit src/template.c)

options can be one of:
- major=<nr>, major specifies the major number of the driver.
- minor=<nr>, you can specify wich minor numbers the driver should use for your
  hardware.
- extended=[1|0], configures the driver to use extended message format.
- pelican=[1|0], configures the driver to set the CAN chips into pelican mode.
- baudrate=<nr>, sets the baudrate of the device(s)
- clock_freq=<nr>, the frequency of the CAN quartz
- stdmask=<nr>, sets the standard mask of the device
- extmask=<nr>, sets the extended mask of the device
- mo15mask=<nr>, sets the mask for message object 15 (i82527 only)

There's still a lot of work to do, have a look at the TODO file for more
information.
