Wolfgang,

I tried myself a little backport of net/can/ into 2.6.31.
It appears quite complex. It may be better to start over
with a fresh kernel, and copy those files from my
can-j1939-modules, since this repository contains
#if KERNEL_VERSION macros that will make it work on 2.6.31.

I'm even using this on 2.6.25, so don't worry, it _will_ work
sooner or later.

I'm not sure exactly how the include/socketcan from can-j1939-modules
should be merged into the kernel source.
I think this is a bit of a manual job to do for the header files.

Anyone better ideas?

Kind regards,
Kurt
