getting get-a-robot-vpnc working on vogue - Touch CDMA General

I am trying to get the get-a-robot-vpnc (http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/) working on my vogue. I am running from nand, using the donut ASOP build.
The first step would be to get tun.ko installed. I downloaded the one included on the google code page and pushed it to /system/lib/modules via adb. When I try to insmod it, i get:
Code:
# pwd
pwd
/system/lib/modules
# insmod tun.ko
insmod tun.ko
insmod: can't insert 'tun.ko': unknown symbol in module or invalid parameter
I am thinking that I need to compile my own tun.ko for vogue. But I am pretty lost. Can anyone suggest any resources to get the kernel cross compiling for vogue set up? A while back when I was hanging out in vogue IRC channel craig0r gave me some good links.. but I have since lost those.
EDIT: found a link for compiling kernel: http://www.androidonhtc.com/get_involved . In the process of doing this now..
EDIT: built a copy of tun.ko that will properly insmod on the vogue. Now the problem is that I can't specify the port through the software! It seems to be assuming 62465. Looks like this is already marked as an issue: http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/issues/detail?id=34

If anyone wants the tun.ko I built for vogue just PM me.

VPN over android on HD2 ?

I wonder if there is anyone that tried to use any type of VPN over recent android builds for HD2?
Actually the problem resides in a missing kernel module "tun.ko".
I have tried to get the file from the internet to the same kernel and load it using "modprobe tun" or "insmod tun.ko" command but it is always giving me the same error: "modprobe: 'tun.ko' : invalid module format.
If anyone has a working module, that will be great.

Thank you very much, with this module it should then be possible to have openvpn functionality.
Update: Ok, I am now using latest kernel with tun support.
With this kernel I am able to load the module tun.ko with insmod.
There are no errors and lsmod shows me the module as active.
Where to put an entry to load this module by default on boot?
I have tried the latest kernel build, on SHUBCRAFT CM6 froyo build, the module is loaded successfully and the device /dev/tun is also created successfully.
Thanks a lot.
Anyway I couldn't try the VPN functionality since the Wireless/3G didn't work after kernel upgrade! although I have successfully loaded the wireless modules.
--------
BTW, it didn't work with mattc Leo android build.
After some time of trying my openvpn is running very well with the new kernel and tun module. Thanks once again.

I am running mattec release version 1.5 with the most current kernel (zImage) and the most current modules bcm4329.ko and tun.ko extracted from http://oe.netripper.com/files/htcleo_autobuild/modules-htcleo-latest.tgz.
For wifi it is very important to always use the correct bcm4329.ko according to your currently used zImage file.
So when I update a new kernel I also always download the newest modules and extract bcm4329.ko.
To get wifi working, I have extracted the bcm4329.ko out of the modules-htcleo-latest.tgz file and then used adb (I am using ADB Magic GUI to make things easier) to push the file to /system/lib/modules. Changed permissions at the end.
So
step 1:
I boot to wimo and replace zImage in my android folder.
step 2: boot back to android and connect via adb
step 3: extract bcm4329.ko out of modules-htcleo-latest.tgz
step 4: using adb I push this bcm4329.ko file to /system/lib/modules (command: adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules)
step 5: last but not least I change permissions, but dunno know if its really neccessary. (command: adb shell chmod 777 /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko)
Thats it. And thats what I am always doing when I am using a new zImage.
If you have further questions, just ask!
Currently I am running the latest kernel from today, 08/13/10 without any wifi or openvpn problems.
Unfortunatly the kernel module "tun" was not included with the 1.3!
Anyway I have managed now to run the new kernel and the tun module with 1.3.
And OpenVPN and wireless are now working fine.

Sorry To Bump This Post Up
But I AM NOt Able To Connect To Vpn PPTp On Any ANdroid Cyanogen Mod
What Should I DO Is There Update Or Solution Or ANything Around ?

VPN working on 3.29.651.5

I just installed 3.29.651.5 and to my surprise, I am finally able to connect to our servers using VPN. This is really great.
I was not able to use PPTP with 3.26 nor with CM6. I will stay with 3.29 until VPN works on CM6.
I wonder what changed? i've never been able to connect to my company VPN either. maybe this will fix it.
I read the release notes and nothing mentions changes to VPN. I have not flashed the new radio.
What about l2tp?
really? with pptp encryption enabled? it was the first thing I tested after I got the update this morning and it wasn't working for me.
I just tried connection to my L2TP VPN server at home and it's a no-go even with the latest update.
Maybe I just have bad luck though, I'm really hoping that's the case.
If you are using Cisco VPN use this for the tun.ko. and VPNC. btedeski made this but the source code was not released yet so its based off the 3.26 kernel. It works. It locks up when disconnect but thats fine by me until the source code is released
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8285195&postcount=5
Is there any way a guru can explain to someone like myself, who doesn't even know what tun.ko is, how he can connect to his work's l2tp vpn, or if it's even possible?

It all depends on how his work is set up. For example my work uses Cisco IPSec with Group Authentication. I need to use VPNC and am required to install the tun.ko (specific to the kernel) and busybox symlink and some tunneldroid files to get mine to work http://sourceforge.net/projects/tunneldroid/files/

I only figured out the IPSec. I assume the L2TP is self explanatory. If he has IPSec then I can point you in the right direction. He will need to get the pcf file that contains all the connection information.
You could install the tun.ko. I know most of the rom makers put this in. Right now its a so so tun.ko because they source code for the kernel is not released but it does work.

It is IPSec. And I have been using various custom kernels with tun.ko compiled (Netarchy's and Kingclick's.) The problem is that I could never connect to the vpn server.
I'll ask the guy for extra details and that file.

Put the tun.ko in the /system/lib/modules/ by doing the following

install VPNC apk
Grab the pcf file from the Cisco VPN on the PC open it with notepad and decrypt the group password use this or just do a search for a decryptor Get the rest of the info from the pcf and fill in the VPNC.
Hope this helps. With the current one I believe it locks up the phone when VPN is disconnected. I think its because this tun.ko is not based on the source code since it has not been released

[SOLVED] CIFS support

A noob question support. Is there a CIFS support in the 2.6.32.21-gbe90714 kernel or a suitalbe cifs.ko file that one could use with the Cifsmanager app?
I am a bit lost here. I downloaded the DHD kernel source released, but had no luck locating the cifs.ko file. And I have no idea how to compile one myself. Can someone pinpoint me in the right direction?
update:
found some instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783117 so I will see if I can get it working
update 2:
i have been able to build cifs.o (no cifs.ko was produced ) from the kernel provided by HTC, but it fails with insmod. The problem might be (besides that I have only a vague idea what am I doing) that the downloaded kernel is 2.6.32-g5ed1769 and my phone is running kernel 2.6.32-gbe90714.
Also compiling the kernel ends with this error
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `drivers/input/touchscreen/ntrig.o', needed by `drivers/input/touchscreen/built-in.o'. Stop.
Thats where I got stuck.
I have attached the file cifs.o produced.

I placed in DEV since it deals with kernel compilation. Maybe it should be moved to theme and apps as I am trying to get Cifsmanager app working on DHD.
Small update: I have managed to get a cifs.ko from kernel 2.6.32.17 from G2 partially working. I have HEX edited the file and changed to my kernel version.
I can insmod the file and mount drive without a problem. I can than access the mounted drives a browse the folders, but when I try to open the file I get an error.
I do not seem to be able to find a 2.6.32.21 kernel compiled cifs.ko which I believe might work with HEX updating "-gbe90714".
*push*
looking for the right cifs.ko as well :\ would be really nice to be able to mount cifs shares without custom rom...
anyone got CIFS working on stock ROM?

Thanks for this, it works fine when I insmodded all the .ko's you zipped (that I placed in system/lib/modules/). On reboot though I cannot use cifs manager unless I insmod again. Do I need to insmod everytime i reboot?

I understand the hex edit - would you mind telling me how you did the --strip-debug - I'd like to do the same.
They were compiled on a headless PII 400 MHz running Ubuntu Edgy Eft server.

You just need to have the android ndk, which I supposed you have since you have bee able to compile the kernel. So just run
Code:
/path/to/android-ndk-r4b/build/prebuilt/linux-x86/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-strip --strip-debug /path/to/cifs.ko
you have to modify the path to cifs.ko a and android-ndk-r4b
I have bee trying to compile the kernel my self on kubuntu, but always finished with an error, so I just ended up hexediting other files.
Thanks for your files. I have been waiting for a working samba mount to stream my videos from NAS!!

I am afraid it has to be insmoded every time on boot. You can automate it with Gscript or Tasker apps.
Thanks @Nxtwrld for the strip-debug advice. The HTC kernel never compiled with my phone's config.gz - after each failed compile I would have to edit .config and disable the item responsible for the build failure. I ended up compiling the module by itself.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Final compile - optimised versions against NDK R5.
Against the new Android NDK R5 I have just compiled:
* tun.ko - 18 KB
* slow-work.ko - 16 KB
* cifs.ko - 269 KB
* nls_utf8.ko - 4 KB
I have also debug stripped them - resulting in a total module size of 304 KB instead of 3.2 MB.
This time I compiled them on Ubuntu 10.10 instead of the ancient Ubuntu 6.10 I had been compiling on.
Again, these are for 2.6.32.21-g66cfb7a - feel free to hex edit them. I have tested both tun & cifs and they work.
Thanks again nxtwrld for the strip-debug advice.
Can you do the same for kernel 2.6.32.21-g3d0aaf ?
here you go.

I have the Desire HD with stock Orange rom and that kernel, i literaly have no idea how to install thease moduals onto the phone.
My desire hd is rooted and is S-on I've tried things like Kernel Update Utility and also just trying to simply copy and paste the files into system/lib/modules didnt work since astro didnt let me paste.
If it wasnt nearly 1am and i wasn't trying for the past 3 hours i would have done more reading. I know its something simple im missing, just can't figure out what the process is to installing thease modules is. First Android phone, first day with it as you can probebly tell.
Any help will be apreciated.

There's a free app in the market called "mount /system (rw / ro)" that can make your /system read-write (rw) or read-only (ro). After setting rw - you should be able to copy the *.ko files into /system/lib/modules.
Another alternative is to copy the *.ko files onto your sdcard (/mnt/sdcard).
You can then use an app (i.e. "Terminal Emulator") to enter these commands:
Code:
su
insmod /mnt/sdcard/slow-work.ko
insmod /mnt/sdcard/cifs.ko
insmod /mnt/sdcard/nls_utf8.ko
Alternatively, you can open CifsManager, open the Settings and specify a custom path to your kernel modules (i.e. in /mnt/sdcard). The recent version allows you to specify multiple modules, separated by colons. e.g:
Code:
/mnt/sdcard/slow-work.ko:/mnt/sdcard/cifs.ko:/mnt/sdcard/nls_utf8.ko
Hope this helps.
You should also check you kernel version and verify, that you are really running pin this kernel. I have no idea what the kernel for Orange branding is....
Amazing thanks, i did it with the terminal emulator method. First time i tried it, it wouldnt work. A restart later and i've rentered the comands and my computer drive is mounted. Works like a dream, thanks loads for th hex edited files and the walkthrough with diffrent options was so very helpful.

.config for android 2.3.3 nexus S

Hi, i am trying to compile tun.ko and cifs.ko for my stock android kernel.
i have trouble getting the .config.gz from the phone as its nolonger available.
can someone share a workable .config.gz with me? i will share the tun.ko and cifs.ko if i am successful in creating it.
this is for stock kernel 2.3.3
i just need a similar .config of 2.3.3 from the custom rom community.
thanks. (i am new to this custom rom and i am trying hard to learn)

hi, i manage to create tun.ko and working for stock 2.3.3
but however i am still getting error on cifs.ko.
based on my understanding, i am missing out some pre-requisit for the module.
what other settings do i need to add to/remove from .config to make a workable cifs.ko?
thanks.
this is the tun.ko that i manage to complie for stock android 2.3.3 nexus s.
the MD5 of the tun.ko is

trying to compile cifs/nls_utf8 for stock 2.3.3, too
I followed the steps like:
make herring_defconfig
make menuconfig (check cifs & nls_utf8 options)
make modules_prepare
make M=fs/cifs
make M=fs/nls
adb push fs/cifs/cifs.ko ...
adb push fs/nls/nls_utf8.ko ...

here is the attached file
slow-work.ko
cifs.ko
nls_utf8.ko
the catch is that cifs.ko requires slow-work.ko as a dependency.
so,
insmod slow-work.ko
insmod cifs.ko
insmod nls_utf8.ko
and volia..
thanks for all for the help.
this is for stock android build

you will need to compile slow-work as module.
i found the guide somewhere on the xda forums under galaxy tab. there is a post where it shows you whats need to be done.
as i say before. cifs is dependent on slow-work.
without slow-work, it will complaint during init that file is not found.

[HELP] OpenVPN settings about tun.ko

I just changed my kernel with nAa's v6 kernel from stock. I believe that tun.ko or tun/tap (correct me if im wrong) is already in kernel so i have to delete modules in /system/lib/modules to avoid conflict. Now my problem is how can I locate the path of tun.ko if it is already in the kernel. When I am using stock kernel the path in my openvpn setting of tun.ko is is system/lib/modules/tun.ko, but now I have nAa's kernel what path should i put in the openvpn setting coz if i only put tun.ko in the setting it doesnt work. Anyone can help me? Thank you.
Try modprobe I guess. haha mwah
modprobe is only for modules operation. you have no module per se to work with so modprobe is not the right command to work with.
have you tried just letting your openvpn run? I think it will automatically use whatever is provided in the kernel hence no need to specify anything for module at all.
