Description
Since version 2.6.25 Linux kernel provides a unified stack for Controller Area Network (CAN). See http://elinux.org/CAN_Bus for project details. Userspace software communicates with CAN hardware via socket API. For this purpose new protocol family PF_CAN was introduced.
The wrapper class should enable socket creation for PF_CAN family and handling of CAN frame structure.
QtNetwork should be also aware of canx interfaces and CAN related settings as baudrate should be accessible via netlink protocol.
