10	  Controller Area Network (CAN) is a slow (up to 1Mbit/s) serial
11	  communications protocol which was developed by Bosch in
12	  1991, mainly for automotive, but now widely used in marine
13	  (NMEA2000), industrial, and medical applications.
14	  More information on the CAN network protocol family PF_CAN
15	  is contained in <Documentation/networking/can.rst>.
16
17	  If you want CAN support you should say Y here and also to the
18	  specific driver for your controller(s) below.

24	default y
25	---help---
26	  The raw CAN protocol option offers access to the CAN bus via
27	  the BSD socket API. You probably want to use the raw socket in
28	  most cases where no higher level protocol is being used. The raw
29	  socket has several filter options e.g. ID masking / error frames.
30	  To receive/send raw CAN messages, use AF_CAN with protocol CAN_RAW.
31
32config CAN_BCM
33	tristate "Broadcast Manager CAN Protocol (with content filtering)"
34	default y
35	---help---
36	  The Broadcast Manager offers content filtering, timeout monitoring,
37	  sending of RTR frames, and cyclic CAN messages without permanent user
38	  interaction. The BCM can be 'programmed' via the BSD socket API and
39	  informs you on demand e.g. only on content updates / timeouts.
40	  You probably want to use the bcm socket in most cases where cyclic
41	  CAN messages are used on the bus (e.g. in automotive environments).
42	  To use the Broadcast Manager, use AF_CAN with protocol CAN_BCM.
43
44config CAN_GW
45	tristate "CAN Gateway/Router (with netlink configuration)"
46	default y
47	---help---
48	  The CAN Gateway/Router is used to route (and modify) CAN frames.
49	  It is based on the PF_CAN core infrastructure for msg filtering and
50	  msg sending and can optionally modify routed CAN frames on the fly.
51	  CAN frames can be routed between CAN network interfaces (one hop).
52	  They can be modified with AND/OR/XOR/SET operations as configured
53	  by the netlink configuration interface known e.g. from iptables.
