What Robert said, but in addition, it might be handy if you let us know
what hardware( everything ) you're using to help us, help you spot
potential hardware conflicts. I've worked on a project that did in fact use
one CAN interface a couple or three years ago. It works, but I only used
one bus. Not two. Additionally, I was using an older kernel, so I've not
the same on a current kernel. At some point I think I did test a semi
recent kernel, just to get the interface up and running, but I did not test
the C code I wrote a while back on that interface.

So how do you know it's not working. Just saying it doesn't work does not
give us the steps you taken to get where you are. or the error messages
you're getting, that could help us troubleshoot your issue for you. Nor
does it tell us if the driver for a given CAN interface is even loaded. You
see where I'm going ? There are many places for this process to go wrong.
