FYI, I fixed a build bug in gpsd that allows using gpsd with CANbus / NMEA 2000 : FS#783

Now, it would nice to have a way to initialize the CANbus.

For example, the "8 devices USB2CAN" adapter ( https://www.8devices.com/products/usb2can ) needs :

ip link set can0 type can bitrate 250000

... and the CANable adapter ( http://canable.io/ ) needs :

slcan_attach -w -o -c -s5 /dev/ttyACM0 &

ip link set up slcan0

... after that gpsd can be configured with

gpsd.device="nmea2000://slcan0"

... and it should work
