PCAN drivers?

PCAN drivers?

[Gary Thomas]

What's the best driver for the Peak PCAN PCI board?
   PEAK-System Technik GmbH PCAN-PCI CAN-Bus controller
I'm interested in linux-3.5.2 on Fedora 17

Thanks

The PEAK PCI  should work out-of-the box with kernel version v3.2. The
PCI Express Cards shoud work with v3.4.

Thanks.  What driver module do I need for this (none seem to come
packaged with the Fedora kernel)?

What about the CAN utils (cansend, candump, etc)?

Sorry for the barrage of questions; I used this stuff years ago
and time seems to have marched on whilst I had to do other things...

It should be loaded automatically, it's called peak_pci.ko

compile yourself:

I use the PCAN usb device.

On old systems < 3.4 I compile the source from peak systems.

On newer systems it is plug and play. If you used peak 'years ago' you
probably used the chardev driver. You can still use this driver if you
have software that requires it, but you will need compile the source
with special -no-netdev switch, better to port your code and embrace the
upstream driver :). The buildfiles contain a nice list of switches you
can use.
