[Q] Tun tap driver for openvpn ? - Acer Iconia A500

Hi,
I hope to be able to use openvpn on my A500.
But it needs "tun" or "tap" driver. Is there any such driver for the A500 ?
Thanks

Mobii with Advent Vega Firmware / MoDaCo-Rom-r8 and Debugging with Eclispe

Hi *,
i have a big problem here. I'm developing with Eclipse and the android sdk. Everything works fine. I can debug in the Emulator as well as on my HTC Desire HD. No problems. But i can't debug on my POV Mobii (modded with Advent Vega Firmware and MoDaCo R8). I can set it to USB-Debugging mode. But it doesn't appear under the DDMS section in Eclipse.
I'm running Windows 7 32Bit. If i try to install the original USB driver from Advent Vega oder the driver that comes with the MoDaCo package Windows says that it's not compatible with my device. Tried out some things for over two hours now but nothing works.
Does anyone had the same problem and perhaps knows how to solve it?
Greetings
EDIT: I've found this: h-t-t-p://android.modaco.com/content/advent-vega-vega-modaco-com/327084/what-to-do-when-your-usb-drivers-are-wrong-win7-64/
Now everything works fine
Thanks i was unable to make it to work in windows.
FYI: in linux it works with no problems
hi, it's not working for me! he can't recognize the drivers from modaco package, any clue ?
Hey, i managed to get it work! thanks anyway

[Q] usb2serial

Hello all,
I want to apologize if this has been posted already but I have searched and cannot find an actual answer.
I would like to use my iconia to connect to device serial Ports for configuration purposes. I am running taboonay and have the right kernel modules loaded because I can see my usb2serial device under dmesg. What I am missing is the software interface to communicate with the port like putty or hyperterminal.
I have downloaded several apps from the market with no luck.
Any suggestions?
Acer a500
Taboonay 2.0
2.6.36.4
Thanks
what are you trying to configure? Maybe I can help
I do work on enterprise storage systems. Many times when I need to set up a new system, I have to log into the system via serial to configure the initial IP and hostname.
Thanks for the reply.
microcom
I use microcom which was included in busybox. From the terminal, as root, try "busybox microcom /dev/ttyUSB0". Replace ttyUSB0 with whatever device you get in dmesg.
Check this thread:

Don't know if it would help, but worth a try.

Many thanks to all who responded...
microcom worked like a charm.

promiscious mode / network (security) tools: nmap, wireshark, metasploit

Hi,
I tried to post it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=758755&page=6 but I don't have permissions (looks like not very wise forum restriction). Maybe someone finds this useful so I post it here in General forum.
I think I have to mention I'm on Overcome Hermes edition right now.
I installed Debian Chroot. Then I installed nmap. Works perfectly well
I Installed everything neccessary for metasploit and started it (console). Have not tested yet...
I've also managed to start wireshark:
1. Install vnc-server
2. Re-build & install libpcap (I did it on the device) without HAVE_PACKET_RING option
3. Re-build & install wireshark
4. Start vncserver
5. Start androVNC
6. Connect to localhost
7. Start wireshark ;-)
It works good, but putting device into promiscious mode brakes outgoing traffic while on WiFi connection (after few seconds or minutes). I'm satisfied using it without promiscious mode so far. Very convenient. Have not tested on 3G connection but there is no reason for PROMISC on PTP interface anyway.
Have not tested anything like aircrack because got no monitoring WiFi drivers.
Would be grateful if anyone gives a hint on what is wrong with PROMISC mode there.. (Is it really needed?..)
And it would be cool to have kernel with CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP enabled to avoid libpcap/wireshark rebuilds. I think default Debian libpcap requires this particular kernel option.

Compiling USB Wireless drivers for Linux Native/Chroot

I don't want to spam any of those "How to install Linux" on our A500 Development forum and if I can get a good step-by-step I'll then edit this post to include it.
I am using both Ubuntu 11.10 Native and Backtrack (Ubuntu 10.04) in Chroot.
What I'd like is a procedure to build the module like I found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484339
[infernix] is refering to this post for the method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455382
I am a good learner and able to Google a lot but I can't find it...
I need a step-by-step to build my Realtek RTL8187 USB modules...
The linux headers are not the same as the kernel version and not too sure about the procedure to fix this.
Anyone who can provide me a good tutorial on how to fix this out Please?
How could I install the linux headers if I have untar the source code from Acer in /linux and not /usr/src ?
When I try to "make" the realtek drivers downloaded from Realtek it doesnt work as in /lib/modules I don't have the Acer kernel source files neither...
I know I'm not too far from the solution but starting to need help from experts ;-)
I would prefer to have the native method as it is quicker and I'll use it in native more than in chroot. It's about the same thing the missing files or wrong directory if you need the exact errors let me know and I'll retry it and paste here.
If the winner has paypal I will send you 10$
So basically, I need a Complete step-by-step on how to build modules for my Realtek RTL8187 USB using the Ubuntu 11.10 Native on my ROM: KJY2010_3.2.1_Honeylicious_Icy_Faux_Final_Rev_FZ
Thanks in advance to the winner
First off: For Linux Native the procedure is exactly the same as for any other Linux, i. e. compile, link, install and modprobe the module as usual... If you don't get the source for the driver or at least a usable blob, i. e. one that's been compiled for ARM and is compatible with your kernel, you're pretty much out of luck. If you do get the source, just hope it compiles and works on ARM...
Second: If you're running chrooted, the android kernel handles all I/O for you -- including network. So all you have to do is to set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward (on android) to be a file just containing a single "1" and set up your nameserver in resolv.conf (inside chroot)... 8.8.8.8 (Google public DNS) will do.

You'd need to add support to kernel if you want to use the dongle on your phone over OTG.
There is a experimental entry in Kconfig for Realtek devices which have not been tested, enabling that might work. Else you will have to add support yourself.
Either way you'll need to compile your own kernel for it.
Have you tested by simply inserting OTG and dongle and see what happens?
Since phone has wifi already (I guess) it might not work if internal is interfering with external.

I had to add that driver to several linux kernels that i use on my machines (Ubuntu and OpenElec).
Never tested on my Mate 10 Pro, or any other Android device.
However, adding that to the kernel would require some work and i'm not even sure it works fine on android.
Here's a link to my github - > https://github.com/pretoriano80/RTL8822BU

thank alot for your help..
...Oh, I forgot to say that My device The model name really is named Realtek 8811CU Wireless Lan 802.11ac USB NIC.
I use the 8811CU driver installed on linux. It can connect and use normally. But the driver that came with the device The name is back. This model is RTL88x2BU. Will it work as well with the links you recommend?

Then probably this - > https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU <- should work for your device.

There is no easy way to do that. First you will have to check if your kernel has support for that Realtek driver and it it does, enable it (as ante0 said).
If it doesn't have support for that driver, then first compile the kernel from sources (without any modification to the source) and check if your device will boot, if it doesn't, then you can stop here and forget about adding that driver to the kernel.
If it does boot with the compiled kernel, then you will have to add the driver to the source code and here, again, there's no guarantee it will work. (compilation might fail or simply, the kernel builds just fine but the driver won't work... like i said, there's no easy way for this).
In my opinion, you better start searching on GitHub for an android kernel that already has support for that driver, but you will also have to check the kernel version (if it matches yours, then you have higher chances to port it for your device's kernel).
Best option : Buy a Wi-Fi adapter that have in-kernel support already.
