Hello Wolfgang,

the changes in 2.6.30 and 2.6.31 are mainly the netlink driver 
configuration interface (and some new drivers).

As we already described, the test of CAN hardware drivers within LTP is 
senseless - do you see any possibility to test the netlink configuration 
interface itself? Maybe some monkey tests or so?

I wonder if this could be done without a real CAN hardware ?!?

Oliver
