Hi Wolfgang,

I've included the patch in the E-mail: 
"Losing CAN messages with socket-CAN" of 24 apr 2013 11:11. (Appendix 7)
It also contains kernel disto and kernel version and also
the problem description.

You replied to above mentioned E-mail: 
"Therefore I would appreciate if you could test and improve the c_can
driver instead."

Can you please indicate how to activate the c_can driver 
(instead of the pch_driver)?

Best regards,

Jeroen
