Hi,  
Thanks for the quick response! I had not seen that thread. It does indeed seem that the can0 interface is present when I do a

```auto
root@cbad025:~# ip link show can0
4: can0: <NOARP40000> mtu 16 qdisc noop qlen 10
    link/[280]

```

I’m at the same spot as [this](https://forums.balena.io/t/can-bus-interface-configuring-fails/4647/46) where I’m unsure if I can or should be setting the speed. There’s no canutils present on the host so I can’t actually test if all is copacetic w/ the can connection there. But perhaps I don’t need to? In reading further down in the thread I should be able to test from inside the container itself? Is that correct?  
thanks very much!
