RE: Can't start ESD CAN-USB/2

[Francesco Giovannini <francesco.giovannini@iit.it>]

Hi Matthias,

I am running a 64bit system, using the "desktop" kernel package from 
OpenSuSe.
I used the linux-source package provided in OpenSuSe 12.2, copied the 
.config, added the module via menuconfig and then ran
     make M=./drivers/net/can/usb in the kernel source tree

to build the module.

Used packages:

     kernel-desktop
     kernel-desktop-devel
     kernel-default-devel
     kernel-devel
     kernel-source
     kernel-syms


Below are the output of uname and lsb_release:

Can you answer Marc's question about the origin of the kernel module?
Did you built it yourself or are you using SuSE provided modules?
How did you built the module and from what sources?

Are you running on a 32 or 64 bit system?
