        There was a small error on that page, so if you used it,
you'll want to go back and fix your kernel.  The only difference is
the MTCAN_LEOD setting has been changed to MTCAN_SPEOD.  I've sent a
note to Quantum that their documentation is wrong, but who knows when
and if it will get fixed.

        Thanks to Tom Mander for pointing out the error.
