This is the kernel module for smb/cifs mount.(windows shares)
You need it for example for this: hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756158
I didn't found a compatible cifs.ko for samsung s anywhere so I had to compile it.
[recommended] cifs.zip - Eclair(2.1)
[recommended] froyo.zip - Froyo(2.2) - cifs.ko & slow-work.ko (insmod slow-work.ko first)
cifs_froyo_slow_work.zip - Froyo(2.2) - cifs & slow_work in one .ko Do NOT use this because its buggy (slow, reboots when rmmod)
could you pls explain what is this for? Experts needn't, but there're lots of newbies hangin aroud here, like me . Thanks
It's a kind of file system like ext2/3/4, for example.

You have my gratitude
Very usefull! thank you!
i'm back, when i'm trying an insmod i have cifs.ko : invalid module format
i use a jm5 samset 1.9f roms.
I use jm5 (mimocam's fix + root) and I've compiled the module from source-code provided by samsung (opensource.samsung.com) using arm-none-eabi-(Sourcery G++ from codesourcery.com). Maybe samset used something else which is incompatible.

Setenza said he'll add Cifs in the next SamSet release.
can you make one that is compatible with the Vibrant version? Either stock Vibrant kernel or any working kernel compatible.
Greatly appreciated
I've tried the module, but also get the "invalid module format" message.
However, I'm using JM5 + root using kernel 2.6.29 built on Fri Jul 30 15:12:44 KST 2010 armv71 GNU/Linux
Can you tell us for which kernel you've build this module?

I've compiled for kernel 2.6.29.2 using samsung's sources
my phone says he has kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
I'm attaching the module compiled with latest toolchain I could find(binutils-2.20.1, gcc-4.5.1,newlib-1.18.0)

No idea if will work bc I don't have a Vibrant.
In the mean time I've also compiled my own version of the cifs.ko module.
I've used the Samsung sources and used the Sourcery G++ Lite 2010q1-188 for ARM EABI toolchain.
I've only enabled cifs in the kernel config and compiled the module.
I've attached the compiled result.
Thanks for your effort. I'm using JM5 +samset1.9f and couldn't get the cifsmanager to work with all 3 of your cif.ko . I've just dont know why the size the last 2 versions are huge compare to the first one? Thanks anyway. Hope you can come up with something.

thank you very much. It's working on my stock vibrant kernel! YOU ROCK SIR! (using attached vibrant.zip)
Now I can stream all my media files!
(I'm vary curious how you did this, if you can point me to some guides that would be awesome, (I can write some C/C++ code))
Works great for me - had been looking around to see if anybody had compiled the CIFS module for the Galaxy S. I started reading up on how to cross compile kernel modules myself but didn't get very far.
Anyway; I have a slight problem. while mounting and browsing from the terminal as root and through adb as non-root work, I can't seem to browse in any mounted folders actually on the device using either the stock 'My Files' or Astro which was what I was aiming to do.
What I do to mount said:
\\\\192.168.0.0\\Directory /sdcard/smbshare -o user=Username,pass=password,uid=1000,gid=1015
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Without setting the user and group settings I can't browse unprivileged as everything in the share is 'owned' by root.
I also tried using mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.0/Directory /sdcard/smbshare with the same result.
Anybody else having a similar problem? Maybe it's just something obscure about my setup.

Sorry for the noob questions:
- Can you please give more details on how to enable cifs in the kernel config?
- Is there a specific plate to copy the cifs.ko module?
- Is there a simple (one-click) way to install this?
- is the module dependent on the kernel version? has to be exactly the same?
- is there a easy way to check if it's working (I'm using cifsmanager and get some error saying cannot access device / folder not found -not sure about the exact message text)
Thanks in advance
Will someone please make a tun.ko for the new released kernel or send links on how to and the tools needed? Thanks in advanced.
until HTC releases the source for kernel 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e
we can not compile a "Real" tun.ko
I modified the version string on the current released code 2.6.32.15-g746f4f0 to ge2fb08e and am compiling it right now.
This will allow it to load and as long as there are no major changes in the kernel it could work for you. It will at least load so you can test it.
I will up load it as soon as it is done compiling

to build it yourself
you can get instructions for an android build system here
http://source.android.com/source/download.html
download the source from HTC http://developer.htc.com/
you will need a .config file should be /proc/config.gz on your phone, uncompress and rename to .config
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3803
you will need to setup your path to include the build environment you download from source.android.com I will put mine at the end of this
edit the Makefile and change EXTRAVERSION = .15-ge2fb08e to contain version string you need
do a make modules
as long as the kernel has not changed to much from the base source HTC has provided it should work.....
I added the folllowing path statements to my .bash_profile
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
PATH=$PATH:/opt/mydroid/prebuilt/linux-x86/

Tun.ko vermagic=2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e
the attached tun.ko is build from the released HTC source with the version string changed to ge2fb08e
as long as the kernel has not changed much on the leaked kernels this should load and work
[[email protected] net]$ strings tun.ko | grep magic
vermagic=2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e preempt mod_unload ARMv7
You are awesome. Thanks
update - The tun.ko does work so it looks like the leaked kernel did not change much.
I will try and learn how to make one. I have ubuntu in vmware to use. Does this have to be a linux box or can it be done on a MacOSX?
Do you have the cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko for 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e?
I am trying to get cifs working on my evo.
Never mind. Thanks for everyone's help.
Here is what I did to get the cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko (from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754793) to work for my kernel.
I took the cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko created by "snq-" and used a hex editor to edit the kernel number to match mine.
That was all, no re-compile needed. then I followed the rest of the steps laid out by snq- to install the files and test them.
Lastly I installed CifsManager which is available on Market and everything worked.
I am able to connect to my network only locally. Comcast seems to be blocking ports so I cannot access smb from outside my network.
please post link for cifs.ko
If you have a working cifs.ko for this kernel, please post a link!
Thanks!
Any Suggestions
Any where else to go for a tun.ko for ge2fb08e? I've almost exhausted my searching. Thanks!
i am trying to set up OpenVPN on my Evo with the same ge2fb08e kernel version. i installed the pre-requisites, but do not have the tun driver. can you send me a copy of the tun.ko zip? TheEdge88
SR, You can download the tun.ko file in the previous post, but you need to post 9 more times before you can access it. It worked for me and now I can connect to the OpenVPN server. I think I still have a problem with routing though.
Hey,
Not sure if this is the right forum or not. But I have tried a few places and ended up with no reply or a dead end so I'm hoping I will actually get some where here.
But is there any way that makes it possible to get tun.ko working on a stock HTC Desire rom?. I have been searching for god know hows long to find any help or instructions on the matter without much help being offered :/
Its because I want to run VPNC on my Desire and I got all the stuff bar tun.ko, so that is the only thing stopping me from going any further and any and all help will be appreciated.
Kind regards.
Yes, you can download the desire kernel from http://developer.htc.com/
You also need the build toolchain for arm processors, find it on http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
You need to root your desire, so you can copy files to the system partition. http://unrevoked.com/
The kernel .config file for making oldconfig is , as far as I remember, delivered with the kernel package by htc. If not you can get it from your phone.
Build tun as module, and copy it on yor device.
Hope thats a good quick start for you.
malachay.
It helped somewhat, althought I am not sure how I actually build something as a module etc considering I dont really have much in the way of linux/unix experience.
But my phone is both rooted and S-OFF.
So considering my lack of experience with these things a more elaborate/comprehensive guide or just the steps I need to reproduce to actually build the file as a module, would be greatly appreciated.

You don't have to build one per say, you just need to find the Tun module (Tun.ko) for your specific kernel.
If you go to the "About phone" -> "Software Information" section, you'll see a Kernel version.
For example, the phone I have is using Kernel 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c - so I have a tun.ko that loads for that kernel.
There's quite a few TUN modules posted on this forum for various versions of the HTC kernels.
If you don't find a module that fits your kernel version , I can build it for you if you want.

My kernel seems to be the same, so would you mind sharing your tun.ko and possibly any instructions on how to get it on my phone and working ?

Here's the tun.ko I made for my ROM:
Tun.ko for 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c
It's not a flashable zip though, you need to push it to your phone using ADB (or use QtADB if you want a UI program to help you).
You need to put it in /system/lib/modules/
To load it, run terminal emulator on your device (it's free on the market) and run the command:
Code:
insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
Although, if you're using a VPN application on your phone, the application might have an option to load the TUN module for you - so the insmod command might not be needed.
Mekrel,
Do you have the "exact" ADB command on hand?. Because I know how what ADB is for, but doesn't know the commands etc by heart
This is the error I get when I try :/
D:\Test\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb push D:/tun.ko /system/lib/module
s
failed to copy 'D:/tun.ko' to '/system/lib/modules/tun.ko': Read-only file syste

Hi!
Seems like there is the same problem on all Android devices. OpenVPN requires the tun.ko kernel module that is hard to get. And it also seems like it must be compiled more or less exactly to much your rom version :-( .
I have a HTC Desire HD running stock rom kernel version 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d [email protected] #1
I have tried various tun.ko modules I have found, but none is comaptible; insmod tun.ko fails.
Questions:
#1 Where can the right version of this magical module tun.ko be found?
#2 Is it hard to compile it for the correct ROM?
#3 How? Isthere any good step-by-step guides.
This could also be a good way to get introduced to compiling kernel modules fro Android devices.

Hi everyone, I use CM7 roms (keep switching between various flavours, just about to flash CM7 RC3 by kali http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957336
My question is this. How do I get 'TUN' module support in a CM7 ROM. The reason I (think) I need it is because OpenVPN asks for it. I want to use OpenVPN to connect to my work. I've seen at least 3 kernels which support TUN, but they all work with Sense ROMs.
So, at present stage, would it not be possible for me to get TUN support in a CM7 ROM?
TIA.
Bump...
Anybody? Any other solution to connect to an openvpn server?

Tun Support for Gingerbread on Galaxy Tab
Hi everybody,
i have installed Gingerbread with CF-Root from Chainfire and everything is fine. But i need TUN support in the Kernel or by Module. So it is possible to make this running on that CF-Root-Kernel ?
I have start to build my own Kernel but when i load the zImage the Tab always restart with no funktion... When i load only the Build tun.ko module in then CF-Root-Kernel i got the message from insmod:
insmod: can't insert 'tun.ko': invalid module format
dmesg:
tun: exports duplicate symbol tun_get_socket (owned by kernel)
TAB-DATA:
Mod= GT-P1000
Firmware= 2.3.3
Basisbandversion=P1000XXJPZ
Kernel=2..3.7 [email protected] #2
Buildnumber=Gingerbread.XXJQ1
Hope anybody can help me.
Thanks
Hey all,
Anyone has got the tun.ko module for this kernel? Or anyone could compile one? Thanks!
Hi,
I tried to compile a matching tun.ko module. However, I have currently no possibility to test if it works. If someone wants to try it, I would be glad to hear, if it works or not. (As always, don't blame me, if it breaks anything.)
[Edit: OK. I removed this version, as it obviously did not work. A working tun.ko can now be found in post #8]
it loaded successfully but then i get FCs in settings ever since
it indeed does not work
I tried to use it in console
it loads OK, but when creating a tunnel interface the phone reboots unexpectedly
has anybody succeeded in building tun.ko against this 2.6.35.10-g0956377 kernel version?
thank you very much in advance
OK
since HTC has not release 2.6.35.10 kernel sources for DHD I was not able to build tun.ko against DHD kernel
I grabbed the only 2 kernel sources with this version that are available on developer.htc.com and tried to build tun.ko agains them
the one from HTC Desire S works fine on my phone
I will recompile it against DHD kernel once it gets released
so far you can try the one attached and report if it works or not
if was build with magic version number g0956377
just unpack
rename to tun.ko
insmod
and report if it works
Have a nice day
Martin
have not use
<s>Would you please build it against desire s's own g13f6602 ?</s>
thank you for the common idea
The official kernel sources for the 2.6.35.10-g0956377 kernel used in the 2.36.405.8 software for the DHD are now available. I have therefore compiled the tun.ko module again from these sources. This module works now also on my phone. You find it attached below.
Hi can anyone help me get a tun.ko for my HTC DHD, kernel is 2.6.32.21-gbe90714 ... Thanks
Can somebody please build tun module against 2.6.35.10-g13f6602 kernel?
Someone has already done this for this version of kernel (2.6.35.10-g13f6602), so tun module and everything else is in the archive.
openvpn got working
Posted by Karthik on May 8, 2011 in Android Support, Rooting and Mods | 0 comments
For those who have already rooted their phones and need ovpn, i’ve compiled tun.ko module, which suites stock ROM (2.6.35.10-g13f6602)
All you need is to put it into /system/lib/modules/ from the archive attached.
Also, you can find there working binary (and lib) from cm7.
Just place the binary into /system/xbin/ and lib to /system/lib/
Enjoy!
