That Kconfig in drivers/net/can also has the following in it:

       config CAN_SLCAN
       As only the sending and receiving of CAN frames is implemented,
       this driver should work with the (serial/USB) CAN hardware from:
       www.canusb.com / www.can232.com / www.mictronics.de /
       www.canhack.de

If your PC has spare serial ports, or if you want to buy some reliable 
USB-to-serial converters, then you might want to consider the above-mentioned 
serial-to-can devices:

Or the normal USB ones on the above site. They might be cheap enough for you. 
Or you could start here:
