INTRODUCTION
lincan-0.3 Changed SJA1000 chip IRQ handling. Enhanced VME
(Nov 2004) and EMS CPC-PCI support and many other changes.
+
+lincan-0.3.1 Small improvements, RTR read moved into separate IOCTL,
+(Jul 2005) initial support for some boards contributed by users
+
+lincan-0.3.2 Improvements in SJA1000 error handling and reporting,
+(Feb 2006) i82527 support fixes, simple UDEV support,
+ updates for kernels up to 2.6.15 and fully preemptive
+ kernel compatibility. Support for MX1_DIS1 extension
+ board for PiMX1 ARM based BCC.
+
+lincan-0.3.3 Some more fixes of SJA1000 buss-of recovery,
+(May 2006) i82527 IRQ stuck problem fixed (reported by Terence Soh),
+ tested up to 2.6.17 (rc4). Minimal chip info in /proc/can.
+ Support for NSI CAN PCI contributed by Eric Pennamen.
+
The actual version of driver have been latest tested it with
- PC104 Advantech PCM3680 dual channel board on 2.4 RT-Linux enabled kernel
- PiKRON ISA card on 2.4.and 2.6 Linux kernels
+ - PiKRON CAN extension board for PiMCX1 ARM BCC on 2.6 Linux kernels
- BfaD DIMM PC card on 2.4 RT-Linux enabled kernel

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

+ SUBSYSTEM=="can",GROUP="users",MODE="0660"
+
+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.

There's still a lot of work to do, have a look at the TODO file for more
information.
+Some boards support is compiled in only, when it is enabled through
+config.omk file. It has to be stored in same directory as Makefile.rules
+and config.omk-default is located.
