          CAN driver for several 'low cost' CAN interfaces that are attached
          via serial lines or via USB-to-serial adapters using the LAWICEL
          ASCII protocol. The driver implements the tty linediscipline N_SLCAN.
 
-         This driver can also be built as a module.  If so, the module
-         will be called slcan.
+         As only the sending and receiving of CAN frames is implemented, this
+         driver should work with the (serial/USB) CAN hardware from:
+         www.canusb.com / www.can232.com / www.mictronic.com / www.canhack.de
+
+         Userspace tools to attach the SLCAN line discipline (slcan_attach,
+         slcand) can be found in the can-utils at the SocketCAN SVN, see 
+         http://developer.berlios.de/projects/socketcan for details.
+
+         The slcan driver supports up to 10 CAN netdevices by default which
+         can be changed by the 'maxdev=xx' module option. This driver can
+         also be built as a module. If so, the module will be called slcan.
