+ Controller Area Network (CAN) is serial communications protocol up to
+ 1Mbit/s for its original release (now known as Classical CAN) and up
+ to 8Mbit/s for the more recent CAN with Flexible Data-Rate
+ (CAN-FD). The CAN bus was originally mainly for automotive, but is now
+ widely used in marine (NMEA2000), industrial, and medical
+ applications. More information on the CAN network protocol family
+ PF_CAN is contained in <Documentation/networking/can.rst>.
+
+ This section contains all the CAN(-FD) device drivers including the
+ virtual ones. If you own such devices or plan to use the virtual CAN
+ interfaces to develop applications, say Y here.
+
+ To compile as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
+ can-dev.

- CAN driver for several 'low cost' CAN interfaces that are attached

+ as bittiming validation, support of CAN error states, device restart
+ and others.
- As only the sending and receiving of CAN frames is implemented, this
