You find them under "can-utils" and "can-modules". If you can, you should use a recent kernel version to avoid the "can-modules". I'm afraid, they are not really well maintained. What kernel version do you plan to use? What CAN hardware do you want to support? > (Forgive my almost complete ignorance of git, by the way.
