root@triton1:/# find /sys -name "*can*"

/sys/bus/platform/devices/flexcan.1

/sys/devices/virtual/net/vcan0
...
/sys/class/net/vcan0
/sys/class/net/can0
/sys/class/net/can1

Then I open them by name:

     struct ifreq ifr;
     strcpy(ifr.ifr_name, f_vnCanBusNames[a_eDevice]);
     /* ifr.ifr_ifindex gets filled
     rc = ioctl(pSkt->skt, SIOCGIFINDEX, &ifr);

Or was there something else you needed?
