Basic instructions:

- you need GCC 3.2.x, with older versions of gcc the source may compile
  or may not compile
- 'cd' into the directory, containing the package
- make
- make install
  "make install" will do following:
   - copy driver files (*.o) into /lib/modules//misc
   - copy canbus4linux.h into /usr/src/linux/include
   - call "depmod -a"
   - create /dev/can? entries
- insert following lines into /etc/modules.conf:
 		
 		only ELEKTOR CAN Card
 		--------------------------------------------------
 		alias char-major-91     elektor_canpar


 		or only CAN200 Card
 	    --------------------------------------------------
 		alias char-major-91     can200par


 		or both CAN Cards (kernel < 2.4.0)
 	    --------------------------------------------------
 		alias char-major-91     elektor_canpar
 		post-install elektor_canpar /sbin/modprobe "-k" can200par


 		or both CAN Cards (kernel >= 2.4.0, this should also work with 2.2.x)
 	    --------------------------------------------------
 		alias char-major-91     canbus
 		probeall canbus elektor_canpar can200par
 	    --------------------------------------------------

		If you have a 16 MHz crystal on your CAN200 board (as I), you must
		set the frequency option also:
 	    --------------------------------------------------
		option can200par frequency=16000000
 	    --------------------------------------------------

 	    
 	    
- Also set the IRQ for the parport driver
  for example (IRQ 7 for LPT1):
  --------------------------------------------------
      options parport_pc io=0x378  irq=7,none
  --------------------------------------------------

- Sometimes (it depends on the kernel version) the above settings doesn't work.
  Then try out:
  --------------------------------------------------
      options parport_pc io=0x378  irq=auto
  --------------------------------------------------

- after changing "modules.conf" do a "depmod -a"
