Re: Kvaser socketCAN support

[Oliver Hartkopp <socketcan@hartkopp.net>]

Hello Christopher,

the Kvaser Leaf USB driver has been contributed by Olivier Sobrie (see CC).

See log messages of the driver in the Linux Mainline repository:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/drivers/net/can/usb/kvaser_usb.c

The initial support was added at 2012-11-27 and emerged in Linux 3.8.

Regards,
Oliver

ps. feel free to ask this kind of questions on the linux-can mailing list
which I added in CC. Tnx
