This driver is for CAN interface cards based on the PLX90xx PCI bridge.
Driver supports now:
 - Adlink PCI-7841/cPCI-7841 card (http://www.adlinktech.com/)
 - Adlink PCI-7841/cPCI-7841 SE card
 - Marathon CAN-bus-PCI card (http://www.marathon.ru/)
 - TEWS TECHNOLOGIES TPMC810 card (http://www.tews.com/)

Changes since v1:
 - Added some defines for static inline int plx_pci_check_sja1000(...)
 - static struct pci_device_id plx_pci_tbl[] replaced by
   static DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE(plx_pci_tbl)
 - Typo fixed

Hello,

Any ideas if this driver could support the Janz PCI CAN cards as well? I
don't have any documentation for the cards, and I'd love to get away
from their closed-source drivers.

Is it a passive or and intelligent CAN PCI card? What is the name of the
card? A intelligent card will run its own firmware and you do not have
direct access to the SJA1000. Pavel plx_pci driver is quite generic and
it should not be a big deal to support a PLX90xx based passive card.
