Hello everybody
I own HTC Desire HD running stock 2.3.3 rooted ROM
I managed to compile TUN module from kernel sources available from developer.htc.com
I know that openvpn 2.1.1 binary is available and it works OK
The thing is that I need openVPN 2.2.0.
I never compiled anything for Android although I have crosscompiled applications from sources before.
Among others I managed to successfully build OpenVPN 2.2.0 for MIPS32 architecture (dd-wrt linux-based router)
could somebody please give me some help on how to get the toolchain?
I tried the latest Android NDK and build standalone toolchain from that but it does not work
when I issue gcc (android version) it gives me error, cc1 killed (internal error)
any ideas?
thank you very much for any input in advance
I downloaded EABI toolchain from here http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/[email protected]=lite and the lates Android NDK
I managed to build libssl.a and libcrypto.a libraries from sources of openssl 1.0.0d
how ever I cannot get ./configure script of openVPN to run successfully
It fails here
checking for ctime .... no
required library not found
I am trying to crosscompile in Ubuntu 11.04 32bit Virtual Machine
any help is greatly appreciated
no news on this, anybody?
I really would like to run OpenVPN 2.2.0 on my Desire HD
Hi all,
I've looked at forums in the DEV section and can find a tun.ko module for an earlier kernel of the TF101. None of the ROMs including Clemsys, Revolver's, Netformer's, Prime's and any other I have download include this module in their kernel builds. I would like for this module to be included, which was in Prime 1.2, but that was for a kernel that is no longer in use and that is for Honeycomb 3.0. So my question to the Devs is, why no compile tun.ko for any and all the ROMs you deploy?
Thanks for your response.
In case people don't know, tun.ko is the module that allows a rooted device use an app like VPNC to log into and create a VPN tunnel through a Cisco VPN Concentrator.

Are you sure, TUN isn't in prime 1.6? I see it listed as added in version 1.4, so I don't think that it would have been removed in updated versions.
All the ROMS you mentioned (clemsyn, PRIME, Revolver) include the tun.ko compiled into the kernel. You do not need any external tun.ko module for VPN to work.
However, the trick to get VPNC to work is to rename the file /system/bin/ip to /system/bin/ip.bak. This causes the /system/xbin/ip to be picked up instead while works fine.
guptaavi,
Thanks for the info. I'm stupidfied and you have enlighten me. I know that sounds corny, but I appreciate the help here, because since I did not see the module in the /system/lib/modules folder, I thought it wasn't compiled. Now I know the difference between compiling it into the kernel and compiling it for the kernel.

Hi guptaavi,
So I must be stupid, because I did what you just told me about changing the file name for the /system/bin/ip to ip.bak, but the VPNC widget takes forever to start and it just fails. I know the settings are correct because I can run VPNC on my OG Droid without issues. I'm running CWM7.
Do you have any suggestions?
jamdev12
If tun.ko is build into the system, how do we setup OpenVPN to use tun.ko? How do i tell OpenVPN where the tun.ko file is?
Pls help as im using PRIME 1.8.4.
TIA

UPDATE: These modules were added by request to Hundsbuah's kernel here:

I was not going to post this because it has limited use for most TF300T owners but it can't hurt so here it is. The attached file(ath9k.tar.gz) contains kernel modules needed to get AR9271 based usb wifi dongles working on the latest stock TF300T kernel(Asus build 10.4.2.20, kernel version 3.1.10). I have tested the modules with this dongle: TP-Link TL-WN722N.
Uncompress the file and you will get an ath9k directory. Inside are the modules, 2 scripts for easy loading and unloading of the modules, and iwconfig compiled for Android. Getting the dongle working goes something like this:
Su to root. Copy htc_9271.hw to /system/etc/firmware. Run the scripts start_ath9k and stop_ath9k to load and unload the modules.
After the modules are loaded, insert the dongle into the keyboard full size usb port and run ifconfig and iwconfig as needed. If wlan0(default android wifi) is on then iwconfig will show the dongle as wlan1.
Note: I did not post this on the Dev forum because I did not develop these modules...I only changed a few lines in 2 modules before compiling them.

Not very likely...you would need to get your kernel source, add ath9k driver support to the kernel config, then fix any compile errors.

You need the kernel source for your tablet and a way to root your tablet. I did a cursory Google search for the kernel source for your tablet and I can't find it. If you can get the kernel source code for your tablet then it might be possible to compile ath9k modules. If you can't root that tablet then kernel modules won't be useful because there would be no way to load them.

You need the kernel source code from the tablet manufacturer.
Hello! I have source code for my kernel (Nexus 7 4.2.2) and I successful built module cifs.ko and cp210x.ko, but i can't build module ath9_htc. I add in my nexus_defconfig file
CONFIG_ATH_COMMON=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_HW=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_COMMON=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC=m
but after make modules command only atk.ko created.
Sorry for my english.

I had to comment out a few lines of code in 2 modules to get mine to compile. On the TF300T, it has to do with LED code not present in the stock kernel that is referred to in 2 of the modules. If you use my modules on the TF300T, you will get no LED blinking on the WIFI stick when data is transmitted or received.
EDIT: Newegg has an Atheros AR9271 USB stick for $9.99 with a cradle.

HELP!! Need Kernel Module ath9k for GT-N5110 Galaxy Note 8.0
HELP !!!
Could really use some help. For the life of me I can't compile a kernel module driver ath9k for my USB wireless adapter TL-WN722N. So it can be used by insmod on my rooted Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5110 on Kernel 3.0.31 Build BMC9 running android 4.1.2. The source code is available at opensource.samsung. and is listed as the GT-N5110 NA (north america) model. If some one could help me please? I would be forever in your debt... :good:
Hello
When trying to add modules via your script, it gives me an "exec format error" for each module. How can this be fixed?

hi I am getting some problem with this attach file, i decompressed it and got the directory. but what are the next stapes ? sorry but i am not getting that part to copy to system/etc/firmware. will u make clear the process stapewise?
Sorry for bothering this old thread. I'm trying to get this to work on my OnePlus 3 running Oxygen OS Nougat. I installed Linux on my phone and I would like to install the TP-LINK drivers on it as the inbuilt WiFi module on my phone does not support monitor mode. I connected this WiFi adapter and trying to get it to work. Please help.
Hi i am currently running Goldeneye 20 with a kt-sgs4 kernel I operate in an all Linux environment and want access to my raid shares. I would prefer to compile the modules that i need but am having trouble finding the necessary info to Compile the necessary Modules. ie lockd.ko, sunrpc.ko and nfsd.ko for the KT kernel. I use my openvpn server on a Dir-825 router with openwrt and a internal Ubuntu Linux server with a raid5. since i can not use Tap dev I have not found a way to properly get access to SMB storage and prefer NFSv4 as it is much faster.
I would prefer to learn how to compile my own kernel so i can contribute in the future but any suggestions for a replacement kernel are welcome.
My android phone is a SS galaxy s4 sgh-i337m
thanks in advance.
I work for a company that is going to deploy a bunch of the BT-2000 glasses, and I've hit a wall when trying to implement an OpenVPN based client software, the problem is the stock kernel does not have the tun.ko kernel module built in. I've tried to contact Epson support about this as I know that other 4.0.4 devices did have this built in years ago but they are no help. It seems that I have no access to the kernel sources and no way to even install a custom kernel like I would on a nexus device. Any suggestions?
