Hello,
This change allows
can.detect_available_configs(['socketcan'])
find not justcanX
andvcanX
interfaces, but alsoslcanX
interfaces too. Such names are given by default to interfaces that are created using theslcand
utility.The module has an option to work with SLCAN adapters directly, but creating a SocketCAN interface instead can be beneficial too (e.g.: make it possible to use Wireshark, can-utils, cantools and etc.). For this reason I added few lines to the doc about how to use SLCAN adapters with socketcan.
Regards,
Maksim
