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. jwhitmore
