---help---
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.
