9	  Controller Area Network (CAN) is a slow (up to 1Mbit/s) serial
10	  communications protocol which was developed by Bosch in
11	  1991, mainly for automotive, but now widely used in marine
12	  (NMEA2000), industrial, and medical applications.
13	  More information on the CAN network protocol family PF_CAN
14	  is contained in <Documentation/networking/can.txt>.

16	  If you want CAN support you should say Y here and also to the
17	  specific driver for your controller(s) below.

22	default N
23	---help---
24	  The raw CAN protocol option offers access to the CAN bus via
25	  the BSD socket API. You probably want to use the raw socket in
26	  most cases where no higher level protocol is being used. The raw
27	  socket has several filter options e.g. ID masking / error frames.
28	  To receive/send raw CAN messages, use AF_CAN with protocol CAN_RAW.

30config CAN_BCM
31	tristate "Broadcast Manager CAN Protocol (with content filtering)"
32	depends on CAN
33	default N
34	---help---
35	  The Broadcast Manager offers content filtering, timeout monitoring,
36	  sending of RTR frames, and cyclic CAN messages without permanent user
37	  interaction. The BCM can be 'programmed' via the BSD socket API and
38	  informs you on demand e.g. only on content updates / timeouts.
39	  You probably want to use the bcm socket in most cases where cyclic
40	  CAN messages are used on the bus (e.g. in automotive environments).
41	  To use the Broadcast Manager, use AF_CAN with protocol CAN_BCM.
