Strangely enough, just yesterday we made a decision to migrate CAN hardware that reduced the urgency of my question. However, it does bring up another question. I've been using slcand and "ip link set xxx up" for a piece of hardware that uses the slcan protocol. I'm pretty happy with how it's working, but I'd be happier if it was compatible with the can_if script that's in the utilities. I could write my own version of can_if that just does the right things for slcan, but it does open up a few questions : 1. What is slcan anyway, and why is it not handled like the other drivers? 2. Is there a can_if style script that already handles slcan? -- Stu Statman VP of Engineering Sunverge, Inc http://www.sunverge.com
