Help text

CAN driver for several 'low cost' CAN interfaces that are attached via serial lines or via USB-to-serial adapters using the LAWICEL ASCII protocol. The driver implements the tty linediscipline N_SLCAN.

As only the sending and receiving of CAN frames is implemented, this driver should work with the (serial/USB) CAN hardware from: www.canusb.com / www.can232.com / www.mictronics.de / www.canhack.de

Userspace tools to attach the SLCAN line discipline (slcan_attach, slcand) can be found in the can-utils at the linux-can project, see https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils for details.

The slcan driver supports up to 10 CAN netdevices by default which can be changed by the 'maxdev=xx' module option. This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module will be called slcan.
