This driver is not maintained any more. Are you aware of the Socket-CAN
project at BerliOS:

http://developer.berlios.de/projects/socketcan/
http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/socketcan/trunk/README?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

It also supports the MSCAN driver and the CAN core will be merged into
2.6.25:

Nevertheless, if you report me your problems, I might be able to help
you. And patches are always welcome.

Wolfgang.
