you can use our local copy
OMK system requires manual copy of files from "_compiled" tree
to its final destinations.
+Create file "lincan.rules" with contents listed below in or linked
+into "/etc/udev/rules.d" directory to enable automatic device nodes

+
+The driver automatic loding can be requested by addition of "lincan"
+line into "/etc/modules" od Debian based systems.
+
+The target hardware/board specific options should be added into
+"/etc/modprobe.conf" file or file with similar functionality for your
+distribution. The options are discusses in the next paragraph.
