Hello, all
I look through code of exist CANbus drivers, and have, may be strange,
next question:
Anyone could told me, why everyone, who wrote CANbus driver (peak,
kvaser etc) always use char dev, but not netdev for it? May be exist
some global pitfall, which I couldn't see, which prevent to use netdev?

Hi Benedikt,
Yes, thanks, very close to what about I thinking :),
but are you measure overhead of netdev (it disturb me)?

We have a newer version of this patch which we are currently making
ready for upstream.
