I would be willing to test a patch, however any fix would need to be back-ported to the 3.2.0 kernel to be useful to me. For the sake of testing though, I would be willing to update to a newer kernel. Also, I should warn you that I am not a Linux expert. Thus, operations like updating/recompiling the kernel are new to me and I'll need some help working through the process. > > > But a general C_CAN PCI driver has been contributed by Frederico Vaga which > > became a mainline driver in June > > > > http://git.kernel.org/? p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=5b92da0443c2585e31b64e86c2e 1b8e22845d4bb > > > > Don't know if this driver can be used out of the box, when the PCI IDs of the > > PCH_CAN board are added ... > > > > But maybe the guys in CC know > > You need a PCI driver first. > > Wolfgang. > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-can" in > the body of a message to majordomo vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > >
