| 3 | depends on CAN_DEV |
| 4 | ---help--- |
| 5 | Support for CAN cards from Softing Gmbh & some cards |
| 6 | from Vector Gmbh. |
| 7 | Softing Gmbh CAN cards come with 1 or 2 physical busses. |
| 8 | Those cards typically use Dual Port RAM to communicate |
| 9 | with the host CPU. The interface is then identical for PCI |
| 10 | and PCMCIA cards. This driver operates on a platform device, |
| 11 | which has been created by softing_cs or softing_pci driver. |
| 12 | Warning: |
| 13 | The API of the card does not allow fine control per bus, but |
| 14 | controls the 2 busses on the card together. |
| 15 | As such, some actions (start/stop/busoff recovery) on 1 bus |
| 16 | must bring down the other bus too temporarily. |
