Thanks for your reply - its nice to hear the there is some interrest in out project. Clayton, Mark wrote: > I am always interested in CAN stuff on Linux.

I cannot guarantee that we will be allowed to publish it, but if we are and you are interrested, i can send you a link when and if we get it.

We have no influence on the card itself, I'm afaid. But we will stridt to make it very easy to change the hardware driver. The driver we want to implement, is actually several drivers. Since the CANBus is a bus, it is natual (for us) to implement it as such, so that it will be possible to load drivers on top of the hardware driver, which can communicate with specific hardware on the bus. > > BTW, there are CAN drivers for several chip.
