For 'real' hardware CAN devices the netlink interface is used to set CAN
specific communication parameters. Real CAN hardware can not be created with
the ip tool ...

The invocation of 'ip link add type can' lead to an oops as the standard rtnl
newlink function was called:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13954

This patch adds a private newlink function for the CAN device driver interface
that unconditionally returns -EOPNOTSUPP.

can: CAN Network device driver and Netlink interface 2009-05-18T22:41:41+00:00 Wolfgang Grandegger wg@grandegger.com 2009-05-15T23:39:29+00:00 39549eef3587f1c1e8c65c88a2400d10fd30ea17 The CAN network device driver interface provides a generic interface to setup, configure and monitor CAN network devices. It exports a set of common data structures and functions, which all real CAN network device drivers should use. Please have a look to the SJA1000 or MSCAN driver to understand how to use them. The name of the module is can-dev.ko. Furthermore, it adds a Netlink interface allowing to configure the CAN device using the program "ip" from the iproute2 utility suite.
