It was not my intention to replace the existing mcp251x driver. For starters, the mcp2515 driver I posted does not support the MCP2510. This is by design. The mcp2515 driver achieves its performance mainly by using the "read rx buffer" SPI instruction, which reads the rx buffer _and_ clears the rx interrupt flag in a single SPI transaction. This instruction does not exist in the MCP2510. I guess it is possible to make this driver also work with the MCP2510, although with reduced performance, but I wonder if it is worth the effort... > Is this driver a real independent re-write? If not, please *keep* the > relevant copyrights! Yes, it is a new design and I wrote it from scratch. Thank you all for the reviews! I'll make the suggested changes ASAP, i.e. weekend, probably. :-) -- Andre B.
