This patch adds the driver that creates a platform:softing device from a pcmcia_device Note: the Kconfig indicates a dependency on the softing.ko driver, but this is purely to make configuration intuitive. This driver will work independent, but no CAN network devices appear until softing.ko is loaded too.

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

You need firmware for these, which you can get at
|
|
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/socketcan/
|
|
This version of the driver is written against
|
|
firmware version 4.6 (softing-fw-4.6-binaries.tar.gz)
|
|
In order to use the card as CAN device, you need the Softing generic
|
|
support too.
