Run `make oldconfig` then `make menuconfig` and locate the options to turn on CAN support and the MCP251x driver. (Sounds familiar; I hope Microchip have improved on these since I last tried using one.) Once that is done, you should be able to build modules by running `make modules` and install them with `sudo make modules_install`. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
