It is an intelligent CAN PCI card. I'm pretty sure they're the card described here: http://www.janz.de/as/en/can-cp6/k2.html Since this driver is for passive cards, it clearly won't work. Are there any examples of drivers written for intelligent CAN cards? Until I found the website above, I'd never seen any data sheets for this card. They look like they may have enough information to write a driver to interface with the new Linux CAN layer. We should probably start a new thread about this, it is getting off-topic for Pavel's CAN driver. Is the socketcan mailing list ok for this kind of discussion?
