Re: (Case 14359) Kvaser socketCAN support

["Kvaser Support" <support@kvaser.com>]

Thanks for the information Oliver.

Is there a good location for us to point to that would list the current hardware supported by Socketcan and the version of Linux needed for that support?  A site that is kept up to date?

I am looking for something that we could put in a FAQ on our website that point people using socketcan in the correct direction.

Best regards,

Troy
