Modprobe issues on Android 2.1 (MoDaCo r4) - solved for 2.6.29-5f74b252

SOLVED FOR 2.6.29-5f74b252

I'm having some issues with the accompanied modprobe from busybox:

# modprobe tun

modprobe: chdir(2.6.29-5f74b252):

Verifying chdir:

# chdir

chdir: HOME not set

So,

# HOME=/data/local

...makes no difference.

Ideas?

There should be a folder named after the kernel version in /system/lib/modules for modprobe to work.

You can create it this way:

adb remount

adb shell

#cd /system/lib/modules

#ln -s . `uname -r`

[/codebox]

Thanks a lot for clarifying, but now I get this

adb remount

adb shell

#cd /system/lib/modules

#ln -s . `uname -r`

[/codebox]

Thanks a lot for clarifying, but now I get this

# modprobe tun

modprobe: 'tun.ko': invalid module format

Does this mean that the kernel has no support for universal TUN?

yes thats true you have to use your own kernel or use one that includes tun.ko (pay attention if you selected A2SD+ in the kitchen, some rom kernel bootimages have their own A2SD+ implementation included in the ramdisk).

Someone has compiled a tun driver for kernel 2.6.29-5f74b252, and is working fine for me..

With the latest 2.1 (Euro) in mind, the kernel has been updated to 2.6.29-063c4d24.

Been searching for a compiled version of it, anyone got it?

(I don't know how to cross-compile, yet...)

+1 To updated compiled tun.ko for 2.6.29-063c4d24 !!

Thanks a lot by advance if someone can do it.

I was able to compile TUN/TAP Driver for MCR R5 (2.6.29-063c4d24), using HTC Kernel Source.

Works fine with VPN Connections (v0.99).

Have fun :)
