I'll check that with my colleague Urs, who knows very good, which concepts and
'mechanics' are commonly used for such kind of requirements.

I assume about 3-4 tools (like an AC-daemon, some dump or sniffer tool and a
library with some header file) to emerge in can-utils then, which should be
ok. There could also be some test-programms or src-samples that could be
placed in trunk/test .

I'm really very interested in having the address claiming - just somewhere in
userspace :-)

But of course it might become an ambitious target to support the address
claiming with an appropriate infrastructure to help users to fulfill their
needs without getting confused.

Thanks & best regards,
