Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm very new to compiling Linux kernels,
setting parameters for Platform type drivers etc.   Our Intel Atom based
board has an SJA1000 controller on it that worked in older versions of Linux
(such as Ubuntu 10.04) with the SJA1000_ISA driver that was included with
Ubuntu.  Unfortunately, with Debian Squeeze (the latest version), it seems
that this driver has been replaced with SJA1000_PLATFORM.  However, unlike
the SJA1000_ISA driver, i cannot simply edit a ".conf" file in the
/etc/modprobe.d directory in order to set the ISA ports and IRQ's that the
hardware is assisgned to.  Thus (remember, be kind, I'm a beginner at
this!!), I assume that I need to use the SJA1000_PLATFORM driver included
with Debian Squeeze.....

My question:

Is there a simple way (that doesn't involve recompiling the Linux Kernel) to
set the following "options" for the SJA1000_PLATFORM driver so it'll support
my ISA hardware?

Shown below is my ".conf" file that I used for the SJA1000_ISA driver....

alias can0 sja1000_isa } How do I tell SocketCAN that can0 is the
SJA1000_PLATFORM driver?
alias can1 sja1000_isa }
options sja1000_isa port=0xff80,0xffa0 irq=3,4 }how do I tell the driver
what ports and IRQ's my hardware's at?

How do I do the same thing for the SJA1000_PLATFORM driver????

Thanks for any information that you can provide!
