Hi Everyone,

I am looking for information on how to use the CAN driver for the MPC5200b.  I have built the kernel (2.6.27) with the MPC5200b can bus drivers and I see them being initialized on start up.

[   37.122041] can: controller area network core (rev 20071116 abi 8)
[   37.128687] NET: Registered protocol family 29
[   37.133379] can: raw protocol (rev 20071116)
[   37.137807] can: broadcast manager protocol (rev 20080415)

Do I have to define a UDEV rule?  Has anyone already written a rule to make the can driver visible in /dev?

Any pointers or snippets of code would be greatly appreciated.

Nick
