Edit: these are useful for stock 3.1 and should not be used with my kernel. See my kernel post for current capabilities etc.
Please use this thread to post kernel modules for the Samsung Galaxy 8.9
The kernel modules I post are compiled from the model 7310 WiFi-only kernel source released by Samsung for kernel 2.6.36.3 and Android 3.1. I do not know if they will work on any other model besides the 7310, but you are free to try.
You must have root access and mount "system" as read/write.
Create a folder called "modules" inside of /system/lib and copy the kernel module (.ko) into "modules"
cifs.ko - to mount shares from Windows, Linux and Mac
-View attachment 7310_cifs.ko.zip
-Unzip cifs.ko and verify with SHA1 65c5cc08ee5a4878fc99060885ecaefd6961a9f
-CifsManager from the Android Market works well. Goto "Settings..." and check both "Load cifs module" and "Load va insmod". The default path will be as shown (/system/lib/modules/cifs.ko)

Please give "thanks" if this was helpful. If you are looking for a common module, please make a request and I will see what I can do. I have a regular job and a family, so I can't promise how long it will take or that it will work since I may not have the hardware to test it.
Thanks motley. A tip for other noobs like me: don't download through Tapatalk.

this is great, thanks for working on the tab 8.9. i think many of us 8.9 owners are a little sad we have so little development going on.
thanks , it works both on stock rom and overcome's rom, well done !!
Hi _motley,
do you know how to mount modules for east asian character folder ?
it seems involved with nls_utf8 module , i'm using cifs mgr...
batch load both cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko from CIFS mgr , not work,
but western character works normally.
Alternatively , I use script to insmod , then works fine,
anyway , it works , thank you a lot.
Hi
Thanks a lot !
Any chance to get the NTFS Module as well ?
Thanks for testing, glad to hear cifs is working.
kevinchg, not sure on your mounting issue when also loading nls_utf8.ko, I don't currently have a way to test it, but I would make sure that you have your path's and options setup correctly in cifsmanager. Don't quote me, but I think you need to separate the two module paths by a semi-colon and I believe you also need to specify the option "iocharset=utf8" (or something like this) within your share configuration.
fishton, the NTFS module has been added. Let me know if it works for you. Can't believe I left this one out...would like to use it myself.
Thanks ! Will test it tonight and let you know if it works
I'm curious why you guys need the modules. As far as I can tell, they were built into the kernel on my 8.9 tab. I had no problem mounting cifs/ntfs shares and didn't need anything to do so.

Which model do you have? Perhaps you are mounting network drives with ES File Explorer or something like that that has SMB built-in? Neither the config from /proc/config.gz or the defconfig from the kernel source I downloaded from Samsung have any of these options built into the kernel. I definitely can't mount using cifsmanager without loading the cifs.ko module.
For NTFS, we are talking about mounting NTFS hard drives via USB. Haven't tried that yet...perhaps the other gentleman will report back if he tries.
Hi
I tried your NTFS Module yesterday and have been able to load the module. But unfortunately, I haven t been able to find the proper command for mounting my disk.
Could you advice me ?
Thanks !

With the latest versions of my kernel, you don't need any modules...it's built right into the kernel. Only the stock kernel and the first alpha release of my kernel needed modules.

Hello world ! 8)
I mannaged to mount my complete shares on my windows Network to SD-Card ...
I'm using CM6 RC1 and i can simply do a :
modprobe cifs
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.X/share /sdcard/smbshare -o username=XXX,password=YYY
on Computer (PC-here 192.158.0.X) you have to make a share with the name "share" - on SDCARD in your android you have to make a directory with the name smbshare - the dir you are going to mount the PC-Share into)
magicly my sdcard is now a 1,5 Terabyte hdd ... 8)
No more streaming clients are need - just access MP3/DivX/MKV/PDF/etc.
WITHOUT DOWNLOADING TO SDCARD FIRST ...!
(watched a DivX movie directly with Rock-Player 5 minutes ago ... no copy to SDCARD nessasary)
Problem : after a reboot everything is gone ... 8) ... no automatic rermount - no difference between different WLAN-Routers
I am not firm enough on linux to write a script and do the neccasary things to get some logic behind this feature.
It would be wonderful if someone can programm a gui which fires up the nessasary mount when connecting to a wlan - differing between different wlans (networks) with different ressources.
shelling arround is not the best way for android users - something GUI like (e.g. Astro with SMB Modul - but mounting the share instead of copying to sdcard) would give everyone direct access to every file on the network without the nessasary streaming.
Even VPNing to the share should be possible ... giving direct access without streaming servers like ORK/etc.
Good idea ? please add some comments ...

A small GUI frontend for managing CIFS shares is available in the following thread:

fogbav you can use GScripts for have a link to a script that do this command for you, and have differents scripts for do the same on different WLan.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
MY_USERNAME="your_user_name_here"
MY_PASSWORD="your_password_here"
modprobe cifs
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.X/share /sdcard/smbshare -o username=${MY_USERNAME},password=${MY_PASSWORD}
Wow ... that looks promising ... will test soon.
Thank you very much for the script !
Edit : Works like hell ... thank you ! Now let's see if beidl can do some magic tricks with "usability" and "different WLAN/Shares" logic.

If someone can provide me a cifs.ko module working with the official HTC Froyo (kernel version 2.6.32.15) then I can start working on a GUI.
I honestly don't want to go back to CM until it's problems are solved and 720p is working.

Well, it depends. One of the today released ROMs has a tun and ext4 module included, still we don't have HTCs new kernel sources. The thing is that I'm sure someone here on xda has access to the private HTC repositories. I remember the old days of the G1 community when someone gave "cyrowski" (old G1 dev) a dump of HTCs private git repository.
But I guess I'll most probably try the newest CM nightly anyways. So then I can also try to write a nice little GUI.
If you can get this working on roms with no cifs in app form it will be epic. I'll be more than happy to be a tester.
Had the above script workin fine in Adams OD 3.02 but had to go back to DeFrost without cifs (I think, didn't work anyway). I miss being able to stream EVERYTHING.
You can dooooo iiiiiiit!

Hi... i think you have to use a non stocked rom compiled with kernel from source code like cm6 opendesire. Stock roms dont have cifs function even new 2.2 official build doesnt have it until source is released by HTC.

are there any guides on adding cifs into an existing rom/kernel? dont mind doing the work, just have no idea where to start atm.
Is there a tun.ko file available for the Eris? And if so, is it something that just need to compile against a specific kernel (ie, CFSv4 vs BFSv4) or just the kernel version (ie 2.6.29)?
Basically, I'm trying to get VPN Connections connections to work so I can connect to Penn State's wifi (which uses "pure" ipsec authentication). Any time I try to connect, the app force closes, which seems to be a result of the missing tun.ko file.
(If there isn't one currently available, would one of you super awesome devs compile one? I'd be super appreciative.)

I believe it needs to be compiled against the specific kernel source but i'm not sure.....I went ahead and compiled one for you but I had some changes to my source since CFSv4 so I compiled a new kernel with the tun.ko file. I'm assuming it needs to be in the system/lib/modules/ folder so that where I put it in the update script. This script will flash the CFSv5 kernel and put the tun.ko file in system/lib/modules. If you just want the tun.ko file you can pull it out of the update script.....I really don't know alot about vpn's so haven't done any testing on it but you can try it and let me know how it goes...I have been running this kernel for a little while and it is stable.

cifs.ko and tun.ko for Eris
Hi
I was looking for a tun.ko for my Eris as well, and was excited to see this thread... unfortunately it appears the link above is now broken.
Conap, I'm running Condemned CM7 on my Eris and I was looking for a tun.ko and cifs.ko. I looked at your kernel thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774211
and downloaded DecufuctCFSV9, where I found a tun.ko in /system/lib/modules. However when I tried installing this on my phone via insmod, I got a "failed (exec format error)" so I presume it is not compatible.
Does anyone know where or how I can get the correct cifs and tun kernel modules? Thanks!

Mongoose didn't compile the one I linked you to, this is the .29 kernel I compiled with a tun.ko module and will be in my next eris rom.

yeah, your kernel is what im running now. i was saying that i sent out a quesiton in june asking the same thing, and he had actually compiled a tun.ko that worked in june, but it wasnt until the message i sent to you that i actually checked the messages to see if it worked.
at any rate, i find it easier to use your kernel than have to pump in a driver for tunneling. keep up the great work!

Then I tried flashing this zip with cifs and tun in it; boot took a long time, when it came up I still got the same error trying to connect to the vpn. Any tips to help analyzing what's failing?
If it ends up working on your ROM I may switch.

I've been beating my head against the ground for two full days trying to get a working solution for CIFS under 4.1.2.
Anyone ACTUALLY gotten it to work? 4.1.1 JB CIFS.KO (and related) files do not appear to work. The latest franco kernel Milestone 6 doesn't seem to work.
I NEED CIFS - so I cannot upgrade to 4.1.2 until I'm sure I can get CIFS working again.

Since it is working in a 4.1.2 custom rom, I wonder if the CIFS.KO file was updated or ... if something was built into the ROM to support it.
I'd happily dump the CIFS.KO file if anyone here wants to see if THAT is all it would take.

CIFS works fine with stock 4.1.2 and the faux123 kernel (v012b6es). It has CIFS builtin, no cifs.ko needed.
For those looking to get cifs working on a stock kernel, XDA member chrkad was able to compile the modules to work on stock rooted JB 4.1.2 JZO54K kernel 3.1.10-g009b6d1. See forum link below;

Negative on stock, rooted 4.2; still using ES LAN support (which still works surprisingly well)
Hey,
today I tought about mounting my Windows network share on my rooted Nexus 4.
I searched a bit and found the App CifsManager, but it doesn't seem to work.
I think the problem is a missing module the kernel needs, cfis.ko rather.
Are I am right when I think there needs to be a device-specific module?
If so, is there already a module out there? If not, can you post a link to the needed module?
When I'm out in left field, how do I mount my network shares?
Greetings
I would also very much appreciate it if someone could direct me to a cifs module for the stock 4.2.1 kernel.
Bump -- anyone know which kernels include a cifs module or where one could get a cifs module for use with 4.2 on the N4?
Thanks
