I have built the kernel (2.6.27) with the MPC5200b can bus drivers and I see them being initialized on start up. > > [ 37.122041] can: controller area network core (rev 20071116 abi 8) > [ 37.128687] NET: Registered protocol family 29 > [ 37.133379] can: raw protocol (rev 20071116) > [ 37.137807] can: broadcast manager protocol (rev 20080415) I'm pretty sure this is just the SocketCAN interface.
