FS#782 - RFE : please add package for CANbus device driver "gs_usb"

marconi:

It would be nice to add the CANbus driver : kernel/drivers/net/can/usb/gs_usb

FYI / motivation : there are few new inexpensive USB to CANbus devices that use this driver, such as :

CANable : https://www.tindie.com/products/protofusion/canable-usb-to-can-bus-adapter/ (w/ alt firmware)

candleLight : https://cangaroo.org/candle/light/ , https://github.com/HubertD/candleLight

Schneider : http://schneidersoft.net/resource/gs_usb_1_1_manual.pdf

It's a kernel module that is missing, it's a very usefoulf for high load canbus where slcan struggle.
Good also becouse there are several open source hardware projects.
Kernel module is here

mkresin:

Patches need to be sent to lede-devel mailing list (lede-dev@lists.infradead.org) as patches attached to bug reports won't be picked up.

Have a look at https://openwrt.org/submitting-patches how to submit patches.
