Just as the title says, looking for a kernel built with cifs and tun compiled in. If it doesn't exist, I'm not opposed to trying to compile it myself seeing as how the sources are available. Haven't compiled my own android kernel yet though so while it would be a great learning experience, I'm looking for the fast answer at the moment
Questions go in the Q&A section
Motley kernel in the original development section supports cifs

Hi,
After searching a while I couldn't find a kernel for my GalaxyS I9000
with support for cifs (samba/nfs shares) _and_ tun (openvpn).
Please kernel devs, do include these two essential modules in your
kernels (as well as BLN of course). Or point me to one that already
does.
Thanks,
Hardcore includes CIFS, but you need to enable it in CWM.

I need tun.ko to connect to my office cisco vpn, and cifs support is a bonus I'd like to have..
shouldn't this be in the dev section?? They probably wont even read this

Ah right, I happen to have a hardcore kernel but didn't notice the CIFS
entry in CWM. Great.
One more to go now: tun.ko
Thanks,
+1, but agree this should be in dev forum

Into super optimized kernel, the mine one, CIFS and Tun are compiled inside kernel by default

Please, can somebody provide compiled kernel modules for kernel 2.6.32.9-00001-g41bc3e0 or compatible? Specifically cifs.ko, slow-work.ko, fuse.ko
Thanks a lot.
If you just want cifs, you can use a kernel by faux123, all of them have built in cifs support.
I'm kinda in the same situation, i don't want faux's o/c, so im in the process of getting sources to compile my own without any cpu o/c. but i like the cifs support, and the slqb/bfq optimization

My source is available via GitHub, you can download it any any time and compile yourself without oc. Just don't enable fakeshmoo option

Well, this is exactly, what I was trying to avoid. I would really prefer downloadable kernel modules.
And yes, I can compile them from the source, I just hoped, that somebody already did that and can share.
Thanks anyway.
I was wondering if some kind person could tell me how to get to where the kernel is located using root explorer and what the exact name of the kernel is,or are there more than 1 files that make up the kernel .I would really appreciate it,thanks
Currently running 2.3.5 / nscollab

Its made up of many files none of which will give you the name. The closest you will get is settings/about phone.

Download the kernel zip and see the files that are in there.
By the way, don't post the questions in the Development section, there is s Q&A section.
What brainmaster meant to say was post in q&a forum instead of general

So, technically the kernel file name is going to be zimage - and depending on your kernel build you may have one or more modules that will be loaded (at the very least you will have the bcm4329 module for wifi).
However, you won't find zImage within the filesystem - it's contained within the boot.img and written to the boot partition.
The modules will be present usually in /system/modules - but this can change depending on your ROM if someone really wants to change it and update the init scripts.
If you're just curious of the build check about phone under kernel version. However, the is configurable as well at build if desired.
The ones from Nexus 10 wont work... can someone help?
Yes pretty pretty please with a cherry on top.
yes where are the cifs modules?!!?
+1 BUMP

anyone?:/
it seems that faux's kernel has cifs incorporated, but I cannot find a way to set up cifs manager to use it. Has anyone tried before?
any update
Hi folks
just adding to this conversation - I just got a shiny new Nexus 4 - and am trying to find out how to get CIFS support.
My understanding is that by flashing CM10.1 & TWRP I haven't actually flashed a custom kernel - slightly different to my days of the Samsung Galaxy S2 which I understand had to have a custom kernel as the recovery component is included in the kernel (correct me if I have this wrong).
Anyway, I have flashed CM10.1 and TWRP as per the CM and TWRP instructions. Everything is working well, but I see the cifs.ko module (and others) are missing from the /system/lib/modules folder.
Am I missing something, or does CM not include CIFS modules in the ROM?
I understand that I can get support from a custom kernel, but honestly don't have much experience with this aspect, as I really just stuck to ROMs with my SGS2.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
I would love this as well.
My kat kernel has smb built in. Look on teamos

Hi,
Just a bit of curiosity, Why some android kernel developers still using the linux kernel 3.4.0 (faux, franco, hell's core, matr1x) and others move up into latest linux kernel 3.4.59 (semaphore, ak, purified)? What is the difference if I stay to old one or use an upgraded linux kernel version for my Nexus 4? Thanks for the answers in advance. Please enlighten me,
Best Regards,
Edit: It is told from softpedia that any users who is using any kernel based from 3.4.x branch is urged to upgrade? Does it really necessary to upgrade to 3.4.59 and ignore 3.4.0?
Maybe it is some security fix within that type of kernel.
Even the Paranoid Android Stock kernel uses this version.

some devs upgrade the kernel whenever a new version comes out, even though it might not have anything for android. other devs only update their kernels to a new version only when there is something specific to android and your device included. then theres some devs that like people to think that they are ahead of the game by going for the newest kernel version every time, just to make their kernel seem like it better or ahead of the game, even though there arent any advantages to upgrading the kernel version, those devs just like pushing buzzwords.
