Nice, unfortunately this driver is obsolete. Are you aware that there is 
RT-Socket-CAN integrated in Xenomai since a while (starting with version 
2.3.0)?

http://www.xenomai.org/documentation/trunk/html/api/group__rtcan.html

It would make much more sense to add drivers for the ADLINK PCI 7841 
and ADVANTECH PCI 1680U to "ksrc/drivers/can/sja1000".

Hi,

Enclosed, you will find xenomai rtdm drivers for  ADLINK PCI 7841   and
ADVANTECH PCI 1680U pci boards.


It can be easily ported to clones PCI boards that use 2 sja1000 and a
PLX controler as pci interface.

known to be running well against xeno 2.1.2


To Jan Kiszka and Sebastian Smolorz : the support for advantech pci
1680u has been  completely rewritten in this version.

Best Regards

Fair enough!

It should not be a big deal, indeed. Patches are welcome ;-).

Please remember, Stéphane: For now, only _you_ have the hardware. We can
only look at code. :->

Yes, I agree, but it was not available at  the moment of writing /
testing our driver (March 2006)

This work is based on the release 0.9.8 of rt socket can driver  that
you can find here :
http://www.rts.uni-hannover.de/rtaddon/
Since it served as a basis for the actual CAN socket driver, integration
of adlink and advantech boards in the xenomai trunk should be trivial.
