Bringing Can interface up - Operation not supported

I am trying to use a Can module but I get an error message with the following commands:

$ sudo modprobe can$ sudo ip link add dev can0 type canRTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported

I have checked the Elinux documentation related to CAN interfacesand the procedure works with the virtual interface

$ sudo modprobe vcan$ sudo ip link add dev vcan0 type vcan$ sudo ip link set up vcan0

Do you have any advice?
