tun.ko for NEXUS ONE available?

as I am behind the GFW of CN I am eager to get openvpn to work (trying with TunnelDroid, with vpn binaries of WITOPIA...
unfortunately i can't get the connection to work, and apparently it is because of the lacking tun.ko
I took the only tun.ko I can find online (vpn connnections, for DROID...), but apparently the current Nexus One kernel does not support.
Does anybody have a tun.ko file that works on Nexus One?
thanks....

I have the exact same problem.......I need a tun.ko to start using witopia to get through the stupid ISP block on google Voice !!
So if anyone has any working tun.ko PLEASE PLEASE help us out !!

I got it !!
Finally......I managed to extract the tun.ko from Modaco's latest build, so credit goes to Modaco for this, I just extracted it for those who like to stick to Stock Roms (like myself for now).
I tested it and it works

How do you guys like openvpn on android? is it pretty stable? Has anyone tried using Access Server?

Are you sure you're running the stock OS?
I am still getting those messages:
insmod: init_module 'tun.ko' failed (Exec format error)
and in dmesg:
tun: version magic '2.6.29.6-cm-teknologist-0.1 preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2 preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '

@chirayu : Well, I dont like it so much right since it still needs ALOT of work. Its lacking ALOT of things right now.
@sjakub : Yep, im running the latest ERE36 update. But yea its a stock image.
I didnt see any of the errors you mentioned. I got differnet errors while I was trying it with Witopia, which didnt really work out, but it doesnt seem like a tun driver issue, it was something about an encryption key not available, still working on that.

I have ERE27, that could be why. Where did you get that update from?
Can you get some other module from that phone (like bcm4329.ko) and look for 'vermagic' string inside?

Also, how did you extract tun.ko from that build? Maybe it's possible to extract one from the ERE27-based build?

Well, the tun.ko is tested and works fine on ERE27 and ERE36 updates so that shouldnt be the problem.
As for the other files, like bcm4329.ko . Why would you need that ? It should be there by default ? as far as i know that module is responsible for certain wireless activities, I do have that file with me if you need it.
As to how i extracted, its simple.....I made a NAND backup of my stock image then flashed Modaco's latest update including the tecknologist kernel which supported tunneling and therefore included the tun.ko. Copied the file to the sdcard, then restored the backup and copied the files to /system/lib/modules

I don't NEED that module.
I would like to know what is the value of "vermagic" inside.
This is the string that describes the version of the kernel used.
Now, if it's something like '2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2' and the one in the tun.ko you posted is '2.6.29.6-cm-teknologist-0.1' it means that you're somehow able to load module that has a different vermagic than a kernel. If the vermagic in bcm4329.ko is '2.6.29.6-cm-teknologist-0.1' it means that you have a different version of the kernel (and not the stock one). I have no idea why it would be working with ERE27 in that case, unless it was modified ERE27, not the stock one. Or, you were able to load an incompatible module somehow. In that case I would start investigating how to do that with my kernel as well

Hm, or you could check you phone's info:
Could you, on your phone, go to "Settings->About phone" and check what it says under "Kernel version"?
Thanks!

Finaly! I figured out how to build tun.ko module for the stock kernel.
If anybody wants to repeat that:
* I have Android OpenSource installed in /opt/android
* In /opt/android I did: git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/msm.git kernel-nexus
* In kernel-nexus I did:
- git checkout -b origin/android-msm-2.6.29-nexusone
- git checkout HEAD^
(The last operation reverses one revision, I needed a previous revision from the tree. Different revisions generate modules with different vermagic values)
(Actually, instead of previous two this should work as well - it should checkout the correct revision: git checkout 4bc62c230b2942bea72c3b5258e3e4f1d6cb534b )
- make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/android/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- distclean
- adb pull /proc/config.gz
- gunzip config.gz
- mv config .config
- Edited .config: changed "# CONFIG_TUN is not set" to: "CONFIG_TUN=m"
- make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/android/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- modules
- The driver ends up in: drivers/net/tun.ko
- You can verify if it is going to match the kernel by running:
+ strings drivers/net/tun.ko | grep 2.6.29
+ It should produce "vermagic=2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2 preempt mod_unload ARMv7"
+ The "2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2" should be the same as the "Kernel version" in "Settings->About phone" on your phone.
* Now you can upload the module to your phone. I did:
- adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
- adb push drivers/net/tun.ko /system/lib/modules/
- adb shell mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
- And you can use adb shell, enter /system/lib/modules and run: insmod tun.ko
- It should work
The module is attached.

hey Sjakub..
I have tried using your module and I got the same thing like with the one i extracted from Modaco's mod. The tunnel droid gets stuck at "Connecting" any ideas?
Thanks again for all your work mate appreciate it !

Cyanogen Roms have built-in openvpn support. I don't have any problem using Tunneldroid on CM 5.0.4.1. I got the tun.ko error only when I was on the stock ROM. I'm also behind the GFW. Witopia does the trick for me.

thank you sjakub~i used to use your tun.ko working very well with tunneldroid.but after i update the kernel that supports tethering.the tun.ko doesn't work... the new kernel version is:2.6.29-gad36b87-dirty...

The tun.ko module has to be compatible with the kernel you have. Where did you get the kernel from? You need to find a source of exactly that kernel version and compile tun.ko yourself.

i download the kernel for my nexus one from here ——code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
and i follow the steps in the site to flash my rom :code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/NexusOneKernelUpdate
finally...i'm not able to use the previous workable tun.ko which you built...and i'm afraid that i was too amateur to complie tun.ko myself even though you have already list out the compiling steps...

Try asking authors of the wifi-tether for that module. That's probably the easiest way

okay~i manage to browse that source in google code,though,i can't found tun.ko module.or maybe i will flash cyanogen rom which consist of all the necessary things

anyone brewing a tun.ko for nexus one froyo stock kernel. I don't see aosp code to build right now.

OpenVPN?

Has anyone figured out how to get OpenVPN working on a Motorola Milestone?
I tried to using the OpenVPN Installer and OpenVPN Settings apps from the Android Market but was not able to get it working.

Made some progress but still not working...
I've managed to install the OpenVPN binary to /system/bin.
Got a Motorola Milestone Tun.ko driver from, http://code.google.com/p/sbdtools/downloads/list. It's been copied to /system/lib/modules. I've been able to enable it using the insmod command in adb shell. Verified it was running with the lsmod command.
I've moved my openvpn .ovpn config files to my SD, /sdcard/openvpn folder. Started the OpenVPN Settings app, configured the tun and path settings.
Then I started my connection and was able to obtain an IP address.
BUT... still not able to surf to Youtube or other China blocked sites.
The upload & download stats appear to be not moving, even when I try to surf to one of these websites (up: 0.02kBps - down: 0.02 kBps).
Will continue at it for some more, but if anyone is able to help, that would be much appreciated.

Hi, same here.. I am based in China and have done the steps you mentioned... I can connect to OpenVPN but there is no traffic.. I subscribe to 12vpn and called the helpdesk, they told me it could be due to DNS poisoning.. but really doubt that.. I got it working like once the first time but never did again...

@ pointdexler & dysa
I've also installed open VPN to system/bin on the droid 2 running 2.2.19. My config and certs have been transfered to /mnt/sdcard/openvpn and I've also setup my config in the open VPN GUI (available on the droid market) to point to this directory for my config.
After launching the app and attempting to connect, I get an error message that the command was not successful (the error is a bit more verbose than that).
I did find another app on Droid market that got me a bit closer to connecting called openVPN settings. The error output on this app is much more verbose and aids troubleshooting better. I was able to workout all of the application problems, but my issue now is with the tun.ko module. It appears that the downloadable modules online are for 2.1 and prior as none seem to work with 2.2. I have the module copied to /system/lib/modules and the app (openvpn settings) has a feature that loads the module (either by modprobe or insmod, you can choose). My problem now is that the tun.ko module seems to be wrong as I keep getting the error "Fatal: cannot allocate tun/tap dev dynamically."
Have either of you come accross this same issue?

Hi, I have running OpenVPN without problems. I use OpenVPN Settings from market, tun.ko on /sdcard and openvpn binary in /system/xbin. Make symlink ln -s /system/xbin /system/xbin/bb. Both files are in this archive http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...openvpn-auf-dem-milestone-tun_und_openvpn.zip. Working openvpn.ovpn + CA files in /sdcard/openvpn. In OpenVPN Settings set up Load module using - insmod and Path to module /sdcard/tun.ko. And OpenVPN is working. If not, try run from konsole : insmod /sdcard/tun.ko
Motorola Light 2.1 ROM + JIT
On CyanogenMod 6 for Milestone you need only tun.ko. No openvpn binary, no create symlink. In OpenVPN Settings only set up insmod and path to tun.ko.
(and sorry for my english )

OpenVPN
No worries ZS-Man, your English is much better than some people who are born speaking the language.
I unfortunately already tried loading the kernel module by command line with root (#) access and it gives me this error message:
insmod: init_module '/data/tun2.ko' failed (Exec format error)
I've tried many different versions of the tun.ko file available online. None seem to work with 2.2.20 OS (2.6.32 kernel)

Android version (2.1 or 2.2) is not important, only tun.ko must be compiled from same sources as kernel. You must search module for milestone2, or compile it by yourself from milestone2 kernel sources. Another nice app is Tunneldroid , it has log viewer - good for debugging openvpn connection.

help help help vpn issue
iam from a country that google does not support the market within
i installed the vpn and all works great market apps every thing but 3days later
the market wont open looks like the ip address from us has been blocked(internet sharing device located in us) and i was unable to open market again any way that i can chage the ip or howoften the company changes the ip address (cause its the same every time i connect vpn) or is there a way to use the vpn settings with another server provider than the freeopenvpn.com
where i can download another zip file with configuration to another server
help me please i ll die

CIFS Module for Windows Networking (ROOTed ONLY)

Attached are cifs modules for use with the CIFS Manager application in the market. CIFS Manager lets you mount Windows SMB network shares on your filesystem. This allows you to stream content from Windows to your Xoom without having to download it first.
> You must have rooted your Xoom to install the cifs module and to use CIFS Manager.
> I am not the author of the cifs module or CIFS Manager. I merely compiled up the cifs module from the kernel source for your enjoyment.
There are two different zips attached. Use cifs.zip if you have rooted your Xoom and are running koush's kernel. Use cifs-overclock.zip if you have rooted your Xoom and are using coolbho3000's overclocked kernel.
Copy the cifs.ko module to /system/lib/modules using adb:
Code:
adb remount
adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules
adb reboot
Then install the CIFS Manager application and enjoy browsing content on your Windows server.

thanks much

I am just a newb to all this but can someone please explain how to setup cifs to see and work with shares?

Just curious, do I have to use a ADB to get the file there or will root explorer do?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

question 1)
- install cifs.ko
- install cifs manager or mount manager
- configure share to mount (server/share user/passwd if required)
and that's it
question 2)
root explorer will work just fine (remember to remount /system as rw)

is this working for anyone since the OTA? module loads for me, but just won't mount.

I wonder if it has anything to do with why busybox can't handle domain names. 'wget' has to have an IP address, it won't resolve a name.

Well I don't use the fqdn just the hostname
# cat /system/etc/hosts
192.168.1.2. samba
mount doesn't use busybody afaik, but interesting thought
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Sweet, thanks. Looking forward to trying it out.

I got all of it working but it just stopped. I can't mount anything. Twice I was about to reboot the server and the XOOM and started working again. I can use Scanshares and it can see my server and all the shares.

Will either of these work for any recent kernels? I'm trying to mount but I get "no such device" error.

The cifs module needs to be compiled against your kernel source. So if using a custom kernel ask your developer for a copy.

any chance to have a cfis file for the 3.1 Fw ?

Wondering the same thing -- anyone have any luck finding an updated version for the stock 3.1 kernel?

As a rooted user, on all Tiamat kernels, I found a method to mount my windows drives by doing the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036316&highlight=how+to+mount
Be sure to install Busybox (both versions from the market were install on my xoom since it kept asking for it) to make it work. I wrote the instructions using Mount Manager but Cifs Manager works the same.

Shameless thread bump -- anyone have any luck compiling the modules for 3.1 stock?

I'm using the 1.4.4 Tiamat kernel on my US 3G Xoom, and I couldn't use either of the above modules -- I got "invalid module format." I can't update to 3.2 yet, being a 3G user (grumble), so I downloaded the source for the Tiamat kernel 1.4.4 from the Git repository and compiled my own cifs.ko module using Nvidia's Tegra development kit's toolchain. But now it says "Unknown symbol in module or invalid parameter." Better, but still not working. Anybody know what I did wrong?

Are there any news about this?
i'm struggling to stream videos to my 3.1 rooted xoom...

No updatie
Since this requires a rooted Xoom and Tiamat has an awesome kernel that includes these modules, I am not updating them any more.

[Q] CM6 for milestone with a working openvpn?

hi. I installed CM6.1.2 for milestone (thanks doshaska) beta on my milstone (not droid) mainly because I really want to use openvpn .
However there seems no tun/tap module in /system/lib/modules (i first looked /lib/modules hoping modules lies in the normal linux module path) and also can't connect to the openvpn server with the default vpn setting program.dmesg says "Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically"
Is the missing tun module the reason ? If so , any possiblity in the future that someone can compile the tun module for the CM6 kernel?
btw, I heard something about 2nd-boot . Is there any possiblity to run a complete new kernel avoiding the the damn locked bootload using the 2nd-boot?
PS: sorry for my poor english....

[Solved][Zeus v6.36+patch v2] : openvpn not complete ?

Hello
I'm testing this nice rom since 3 days.
After an update from googleplay, openvpnsetting now opens a prerequisite screen and check my device for root, busybox tun.ko and openvpn binary.
It's all ok , just TUN device driver isn't installed . Is this device mandatory for using openvpn ?
[edit] Okay, after searching a bit on openvpn, it seems that tun is not mandatory. Explanations here
Most of openvpn settings use TAP device, so missing TUN should not be a problem...

It just need to copy tun.ko from /etc/modules to /system/lib/modules... It will be done for next release, but anyway you can do it by yourself via root browser.
