+ tristate "CAN bus subsystem support"
+ ---help---
+ Controller Area Network (CAN) is a slow (up to 1Mbit/s) serial
+ communications protocol which was developed by Bosch in
+ 1991, mainly for automotive, but 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.txt>.
+
+ If you want CAN support you should say Y here and also to the
+ specific driver for your controller(s) below.

+config CAN_RAW
+ tristate "Raw CAN Protocol (raw access with CAN-ID filtering)"
+ default y
+ ---help---
+ The raw CAN protocol option offers access to the CAN bus via
+ the BSD socket API. You probably want to use the raw socket in
+ most cases where no higher level protocol is being used. The raw
+ socket has several filter options e.g. ID masking / error frames.
+ To receive/send raw CAN messages, use AF_CAN with protocol CAN_RAW.
+
+config CAN_BCM
+ tristate "Broadcast Manager CAN Protocol (with content filtering)"
+ default y
+ ---help---
+ The Broadcast Manager offers content filtering, timeout monitoring,
+ sending of RTR frames, and cyclic CAN messages without permanent user
+ interaction. The BCM can be 'programmed' via the BSD socket API and
+ informs you on demand e.g. only on content updates / timeouts.
+ You probably want to use the bcm socket in most cases where cyclic
+ CAN messages are used on the bus (e.g. in automotive environments).
+ To use the Broadcast Manager, use AF_CAN with protocol CAN_BCM.
+
+config CAN_GW
+ tristate "CAN Gateway/Router (with netlink configuration)"
+ default y
+ ---help---
+ The CAN Gateway/Router is used to route (and modify) CAN frames.
+ It is based on the PF_CAN core infrastructure for msg filtering and
+ msg sending and can optionally modify routed CAN frames on the fly.
+ CAN frames can be routed between CAN network interfaces (one hop).
+ They can be modified with AND/OR/XOR/SET operations as configured
+ by the netlink configuration interface known e.g. from iptables.
