tun.ko for vpn?

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.
Edit post: I guess a link would be helpful....CFS Kernel with tun.ko

Haha, awesome! Flashing now. I'll update with my results.
Edit: Works fantastic! Thanks so much Conap!

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!

Wow, Resurrection lol. All the way from September 2010!

tun.ko, but no cifs.ko unless I built it into the kernel and don't remember

i begged for that back in june, it was mongoosehelix who compiled it. it only took me 5 months to check my private messages.

? I was talking about this thread.
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.
... you don't have to use it.

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!

Sorry, not enough coffee today for me, I understand now.
Could you please give this a test, nand first of course, or just have the other kernel zip ready to flash again if problems.
This has a freshly compiled cifs.ko which is quite large in file size. I think I may have added to many options for it. Let me know how it goes (PM me if you can)

Thread resurrection FTW! Well hey I'm still rockin the eris and it's good to see there still so much support. Thanks so much for being responsive.
First I tried insmod-ing the tun.ko from the original link you send, then I tried the tun.ko in this recent zip; both failed on insmod. 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.
Thanks again.

workshed,
I just made some progress on these kernel modules... I tried cifs via CifsManager and it works! I also tried insmod-ing tun.ko *after* flashing this zip and it worked without error; however I still got an error when trying to connect to the VPN. If there's any other ideas you have let me know; perhaps it could be a problem with my VPN settings but they seem ok....
Thanks so much

Hmm, this user comfirmed the tun.ko working, so it may be your settings. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19810279&postcount=6890
Yeah basically you should be able to flash that zip and have everything working, maybe needing a reboot after the flash is all. That is, I'm still not sure if the cifs.ko is working correctly or not.

Working!

I spoke too soon... so I still haven't got vpn working via the CM7 built-in interface, I think it has something to do with the certificates. However then I tried the app "OpenVPN Settings" and set that up with my certs and .ovpn file. Hit a few bumps but I have it working now! The CIFS is also working. I'm actually using both together right now... I'm VPN'd to my home network and have mounted one of my local shares via CIFS over the VPN. Pure magic; thanks so much for your help. Will donate!

Kernel Modules for 7310

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 !

Hi
Many thanks for your v2 kernel all smooth for me with OVC 2.1
I'm looking at for a working cifs.ko. The one given here never worked for me (exec format error) with previous kernel and the v2.
Any chance to get one to test from your v2 kernel build?
Thanks again.

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.

kang ICS and CIFS support?

I have the 24 jan wifi only CM9 Kang installed.
Im trying to use cifs / smb manager to connect to my shares, however does not seem to work. I use a cifs.ko that worked with smb on hc3.2.
What can be wrong?

Try ES File manager. Worked fine for me.

this still a beta version, probably you will find lots of bugs

Hai,
Problem is a different kernel than what is used in 3.2. Only option is to wait for an compatible cifs.ko from some..Pershoot
Or start learning mad coding skills ;-)

well.... then I'll better start reading books ....
Just installed 12/2/12 kang, where I found something in the changelog on cifs support... but cant still cant get it to work. Tried ES file explorer today, but havent had time to dig into options. Also, I want to mount shares natively so I can connect from within apps, not via file manager.
So anybody can make me happy and knows about a cifs.ko that works with ics kang? (because with my coding skills, cifs is obsolete technology when i have this module finished..

[Q] CIFS/SMD Mount

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

Bump.

I understand CM 10.1 has CIFS support built into the kernel. That said, I still cannot get it to work - neither through cifsmanager or through adb shell manually.
I am going to post some request for assistance to see if I can get this working and will post back here if I do.

[Q] CIFS Module for stock rooted nexus 4

Is there some cifs.ko module for a stock android 4.3 on the nexus 4 or any other way to mount a samba share on the nexus 4 (device rooted and with busybox)

I'd like to mount a samba share on android so that other app can use the share
In this case I want titanium backup to backup and restore directly from the samba share

maybe do some research and see if there's a viable FUSE based solution. wouldn't need CIFS then

For what it's worth, I just compiled a cifs module that *should* work on franco's kernel: http://d-h.st/00X
