Documentation/networking/can.txt

[John Whitmore <arigead@gmail.com>]

Been lurking on this list for a while trying to get a feel for it. First post,
poking my head above the wall, so to speak.

I'll start with the Documentation in the Linux kernel. At the moment, on a
netbook, running from the Linus' git tree so perhaps I'm on the wrong git tree
for communicating with this mailing list, but given the number of different
git trees, I can't keep my head straight. Let me know if I'd be better on a
different git tree.

I've been reading (and re-reading) a few of the networking docs and specifically
can.txt as I'm starting to do some work on Linux CAN. To date I've been
working on MCP2515's connected to small micro-controllers creating my own
networks. I'm now hoping to plug a RaspberryPi into my CAN Networks.

There are a few typos in can.txt that aren't a big deal, but I could try send
a patch file for them. My bigger question is with regard to section 3.3 which
mentions Kconfig options "CAN_RAW_USER" and "CAN_BCM_USER". I've searched in
the linux "make menuconfig" for these options and neither exist. grep'd the
code, and didn't find an occurrence, outside can.txt, so I assume these two
options could be removed from the text?

Finally, for the moment, section 7 references:

http://developer.berlios.de/projects/socketcan

this link is no longer correct as it points to another URL, so perhaps this
reference could be updated?

I can attempt a patch but let me know against which git tree? Maybe that info
could go into can.txt as well.
