+A note on CAN bus termination
+------------------------------
+
+Your adapter may have resistors soldered in which are meant to terminate
+the bus. This is correct when it is plugged into a OBD-II socket, but
+not helpful when trying to tap into the middle of an existing CAN bus.
+
+If communications don't work with the adapter connected, check for the
+termination resistors on its PCB and try removing them.

 - flushing of ``tx_work`` is too late in ``ldisc_close()``
