See at https://gitorious.org/linux-can/can-misc/blobs/master/firmware/softing-fw-4.6-binaries.tar.gz Currently the only reference is in the Linux Kernel in the Softing Kconfig: config CAN_SOFTING_CS tristate "Softing Gmbh CAN pcmcia cards" depends on PCMCIA depends on CAN_SOFTING ---help--- Support for PCMCIA cards from Softing Gmbh & some cards from Vector Gmbh. You need firmware for these, which you can get at http://developer.berlios.de/projects/socketcan/ This version of the driver is written against firmware version 4.6 (softing-fw-4.6-binaries.tar.gz) In order to use the card as CAN device, you need the Softing generic support too. The question is now: 1. change the link in the Kconfig 2. Add the PCMCIA firmware to the Linux Kernel (linux/firmware/*.ihex) 3. 1 & 2 ??? Regards, Oliver
