Does anyone have, or know where to get a suitable tun.ko module for the new 2.1 update?
I've tried with the complied one from here but this doesn't work anymore.
First SE needs to post the updated kernel sources for 2.1 here:
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wportal/devworld/search-downloads/android?cc=gb&lc=en and then we can compile additional modules.
Excellent - Thanks for letting me know. I'll sit tight and wait then for the time being!

I have a Garminfone and have done a lot of Rom hacking with it so far, enough that I want to port cyanogen to it now. In the config.gz file there are references to Garmin specific items... how do I go about figuring what is included in the kernel and if the stock one might work with the right config settings. I know that they load a few ko modules at boot, but I don't know the requirements for when they must release kernel sources and what to do with it if they do.
I know they have released some in the past for the a10 but not the a50, and none for the 2.1 build.
I do know that they use the 2.6.29 kernel so is there a chance that I could use the current kernel with froyo?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
I'm currently using erickwill's EWJet rom, he switched to a different kernel and I want to install openvpn to it. The problem is I have the tun.ko from the stock kernel and when I try to do insmod it said I need a module that uses .o format like tun.o. I tried to do without the tun.ko but there was an error, unable to dynamically allocate TUN/TAP... something like that. I forgot because I switched back to the old rom. If there's an already compiled version of the tun module for the new kernel please show me the link because I've tried to search and couldn't find a new one. Please provide me the new tun module for the FreeKernel mod 3.50. thanks

hey all,
just wondering...
- what is the current status for getting custom kernels running on the x10 mini / mini pro?
- has development of a kexec module or something similar begun based on code written for other phones?
- if so, does anybody know how far people have gotten? what difficulties are we facing at the moment in those regards?
i'm wondering because if nobody has started working on a kexec module then i thought i might try, but if someone is already working on it then i'd be glad to lend a hand if needed / if i can...
cheers,
uriah

here is the development thread for bootloader bypassing (on x8, but our phones are "twined" )
it is a dev thread, so don't post anything unless you're a dev.
link is here
answers to your questions may be there

this link is only for open bootloader.
it is unuseful for now ^^

a kexec module is a kernel module which reconstructs the kexec functionality (which allows one to execute a kernel from within another kernel) that the linux kernel can have. usually kexec support needs to be built into the kernel (i.e. not a module), but by loading modules such as splboot (which is the kexec module that is being developed in the X8 bootloader bypassing thread based on work that was done for the X10) one can execute a kernel from within the current kernel even if kexec support wasn't built into it.
[EDIT] actually, splboot doesn't exactly reconstruct kexec support, but does something similar. see this post and the few that follow for more details.
Hi everyone!
I have a rooted Galaxy S2 i9100 with ICS 4.0.3
Kernel version is 3.0.31-Siyah-s2-v5.0.1+
I just bought a USB-ethernet adapter, and I'm trying to make it work with my i9100.
The chipset on the adapter is a MCS7830, and I found the drivers for Linux kernel 3.x here:
( asix.com.tw / FrootAttach / driver / MCS783x_Linux_driver_v1.11.zip ) - sorry, I can't post links yet.
When I plug the adapter, the android recognizes it, but it doesn't generate an eth0 nor an usb0 connection on netcfg.
I've found on other threads that it could be a driver fault, and a possible solution would be to build these drivers as a kernel module. Is it possible? I'm trying to build a .ko module for it, but I still can't even handle the "hello_world.ko". I'd really appreciate and be thankful if someone could build a .ko for this driver.
Thank you in advance!
Any ideas?
Just to let you guys know, I just did it. I'll try to post a tutorial as soon as possible to help people that might have faced the same issues with similar dongles.
I recompiled the needed drivers as modules ("make modules") with the ARM compiler that comes with the Android NDK;
Set up the .config and Makefile from SiyahKernel 5.0.1+ with some values;
Pushed the modules to my phone and loaded manually the modules.
Siyah Kernel actually has many drivers (including other usb-ethernet chipsets)! Learning how to compile specific drivers as modules might be useful for many people.
nice to know that there is someone how found a solution. please post a detailed tutorial! I am desperately trying to get this work for 3 weeks now, without success. i ordered different usb-ethernet-adapters from amazon, i have just 5 days left to send them all back...
a tutorial would be very helpful! btw: does your solution only work with the siyah-kernel or with every kernel on a rooted phone?
thanx in advance, alex

Hi,
I am able to compile CM11 for my xperia L. I flashed it successfully and it works fine.
Now I want to learn how can I change individual module.
I have changed some code in qcom audio-caf module.
I want to know How can I compile only this module and flash it?
EDIT: I don't want to compile whole rom just to test out the changes, unless its a last option.
Thank you in advance.
