Hello,

I had a discussion regarding this with Wolfgang:

http://www.mail-archive.com/socketcan-users-0fE9KPoRgkgATYTw5x5z8w@public.gmane.org/msg00324.html

The problem here is that we must configure the mailbox ID's and this
support is not available in the socketCan sub-system.

To understand you correctly. A mailbox (or message object) can *only*
receive messages with the pre-programmed CAN id? Isn't there a chance to
receive all or a range of CAN ids? That's a very unusual piece of
hardware. Anyway, using kernel configuration parameters to define the
CAN id's would be the less flexible method. The user will not have a
chance to change them at run-time. Using SysFS files would already be
much better.
