title: CAN FD support for Virtual CAN (vcan) on SocketCAN
body: <p>I have been using SocketCAN and especially the Virtual CAN vcan for quite a while now. However, I never used CAN FD (Flexible Datarate) so far.</p>
  
  <p>Well, I tried it this morning using the can-utils:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cansend vcan0 123##122
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I got the response "CAN interface is not CAN FD capable".
  The vcan interface has been created using the following terminal commands:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ip link add dev vcan0 type vcan
  ip link set up vcan0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anybody know if vcan supports CAN FD?
  If yes, how do I set up a vcan interface supporting CAN FD?</p>
  
  <p>System configuration: Ubuntu 14.04.1 on VirtualBox.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,
  MAW</p>
