Hello,
I would like to use cifsmanager apps but I see that our kernel doesn't have the proper module built in.
I just updated the kernel and modules using the latest available in the the kernel build service (following the incremental updates guide):
http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Incremental_Updates
but I'm not able to insmod the module.
I also tried to manually download the cifs.ko module and to load it telling to cifsmanager app where the module is, but I continue to receive the same error, no such device, like if the module isn't loaded correctly.
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you
Why not just use adb...? I don't see the need for CIFS.
If you can figure out how to get CIFS working, we can look about implementing it mainline.
Have you tried insmodding it after cp'ing the .ko file to /lib/modules?
ok thank you,
I tried to load the module using adb, but I think I'm using a wrong file because when I try to load it insmod return me the "invalid module format" output.
I'm using the kernel downloaded here:
http://zimages.googlecode.com/files/htc-msm-linux-20110914_084441-package.tar.bz2
somebody can tell me if is there a module that I can use with this kernel?
thank you

Where did you get the module from...? Our kernel is probably not equipped with that module.
Caio,i've sent you a pm,let me know if it works,so i'll maybe push it in the mainline kernel
I downloaded the module on a thread of HTC Diamond's...can someone link me a module that could work with this kernel?
Or is there another way I can use to mount my samba share on my android?
thank you

Failed to boot,pheraps my fault or too much oc..
Later i'll make a stock kernel
Here's the module http://www.mediafire.com/?w6fp94b464cktkc
So you can put it somewhere and insmod it
well, i have the same problem, can anyone solve it?

Didn't you just say it was some simple config flag?
Make use of that "recognized developer" insignia you throw around there and commit something . (Or at least post something to the ML!!)
still doesn't work, shows the same message when insmod or insmod -f
btw, the kernel is modules-2.6.27.46-01356-gd4c73bd.tar.gz, maybe you should build a complete one? (well, i have never played with linux kernel...)

Assuming his patch is accepted, it will get committed mainline. It's a quite simple change to how the kernel is built.

I think phh had an issue with the patch submitted. I have a patch to commit soon so i can look into this. One question i have is how do yall plan to load the module? Does the app insmod it ? or does it expect the module to be built into the kernel?

I think people just want the module available in the 'modules`uname-r`.tar.gz' file. That way they at least have the option of insmodding it...(*.user.conf etc) who knows what they want to do with it afterwards - I guess access their phone on a LAN from their PC?
just want to mount my share folder from my PC to Android, so that i can use the shared files online without copy-paste (it'll be quite annoying by copy-paste, especially when you want to edit file, because you must upload it after editing)
in short, same as Caio, just want to use cifsmanager, and it says "no such device"

The fixed patch has been sent to Mailing List,now let's see if it gets approved..
OK, before I go try and reinvent the wheel, has got a tun.ko module for the E4GT built yet?
--Mods feel free to delete this post. It would be good public knowledge for people to know that the tun module is built into our factory kernel though..
This needs to go in the Q&A forum. Not in development. Hope you brought some flame pants.
Wrong section, and it's built into the kernel.
flame on then. and a mod is free to move it to Q&A. I was going to go try and build it myself.

Is there somewhere that confirms it being built into the kernel for sure? I can't get Cisco Any Connect to work, which require that mod being loaded into the kernel, TIA!
I would have to agree that it's build into the kernel with what I have seen so far with trying to get openvpn to work.

Cisco Anyconnect works fine for me. Stock rom (rooted), stock kernel. It did not work for me (gave some error about not being able to apply configuration changes) when I was using the CWM kernel briefly.

Every spam thread in Development means 15 more minutes of this. Please, think of your fellow users. Don't make me post this again.
OK, if it's in the kernel, does that mean it's automatically enabled, and I don't have to do anything to get it running? I'm coming from an Epic 4G where I had to run the tun.ko module, so bear with me on this please.

Correct. If it's in the kernel, you don't need to load a module.
OK, so dumb question #2: which kernels have it built in, or does it come in the stock kernel? I'm using Lost kernel at the moment, and get a robot is acting like I forgot to load the tun.ko module...
FYI: my work uses an old VPN system; ipsec psk that doesn't use certificates, and uses the old Cisco VPN client, which doesn't work with anyconnect. I've had successes with my epic 4G with get a robot and a good kernel, so that's where I'm coming from, but am still getting my feet wet on the new phone.

So far (for me, at least), it has only worked with the stock "pulled" kernel. It works with the pulled kernel that contains CWM, as well. All of my experience is related to the anyconnect client. I haven't tried to connect to any older IPSEC only systems, or used get a robot.

It's a tunneling module that allows you to connect via VPN if it's not built into the kernel that you're using. In short, you turn it on and it gives the VPN apps the tools they need to work right. Android has been pretty lax about including this over the years, although it's supposed to be integrated into ICS, allegedly.

I've had no luck with get a robot. It's still crashing. Anyconnect just won't see our VPN. I've gone to the pulled stock kernel as well, and no dice. Bleh. Hopefully someone will release an external tun.ko for this.
I've only gotten openvpn to work in routed mode and not bridged. I'm not sure if it's an openvpn issue, a phone issue, or the fact that I'm using OpenVPN-AS (vmware appliance) and the openvpn on the phone doesn't support DHCP maybe?
If I'm not mistaken, OpenVPN won't connect to a Cisco 3000 concentrator...
I've done a lot of reading recently, and have come to the tenative conclusion that while the tun module is included in the kernel, it's not activated in the kernel.
So I've done some digging, and am trying the following:
First check if the TUN module is enabled on the hardware node:
lsmod | grep tun (No answer)
If not, load the module using modprobe:
modprobe tun
SIGH... no luck...
OK, I've done a little more work on this, but still no luck.
When I try modprobe tun, I get:
chdir(2.6.35.8_LostKernelExp+): No such file or directory
I can see the tun file in the /dev directory, but can't find an rc.conf. Is that possibly the reason that this isn't going? I'm fairly mediocre with Linux, so it's a little frustrating to say the least.
There is no module, its compiled into the kernel..

IMM76I build

3.0.8-gda6252b
attachment "cifs_gda6252b.zip"
------------------------------------------------------------------
hi there, i have compiled modules for CIFS to work on the stock 4.0.4 kernel.
kernel number must match "3.0.8-g034fec9"
in the attached zip,
here are the list of files.
cifs.ko
md4.ko
#above 2 are required to have it work
#here are native language support.
nls_utf8.ko
nls_cp932.ko
nls_cp936.ko
nls_cp950.ko
#above cp9xx are support for chinese characters.
nls_euc-jp.ko
#above is support for japanese letters.
thank you.
additional notes.
apparently you do not need any other native language support apart from utf8
the trick is, during the mounting process, you will need to specify the "iocharset=utf8" under options.
eg
"mount //192.168.15.123/a /home/b/c -t cifs -o username=d,password=e,uid=f,gid=g,iocharset=utf8"
for cifs manager, just put "iocharset=utf8" under the Options, and you should be able to see all different charsets.
do remember you will need to load the nls_utf8.ko
once you have the module install,
you can use cifs manager to manage your mounts.
(you can also set cifs manager to load this module for you).
Thanks, I'll give it a try later today.

make sure that you have the correct stock kernel.
must match "3.0.8-g034fec9" else insmod will fail.
if anyone of you are running other version of kernel, i can try compile if for you as well, but let me know your kernel version.
do note, i have not tried compiling for other version, it might and might not work.

Common Internet File System, is another name for SMB (Server Message Block) also known as Samba. It's most commonly used in Microsoft Windows networks for providing shared network access to files, printers and other services.
These modules allows you to mount a shared directory from your windows computer, on your phone.
I use it to watch movies and play Mp3 on my phone, which is stored on my (windows) media server.

this is the shared library cifs manager is complaining about.
hence you need to download and insmod it.

Hi there,
I noticed noone seems to have ever bothered building cifs.ko (the Kernel module necessary to access Windows Shares) for
the Galaxy Note 10.1
So I build one. Actually it's two modules md4.ko and cifs.ko (md4.ko has to be loaded first).
I have successfully tested the module on my EU N8000 running XXALGA with CIFSmanager. Streaming a 720p mkv with
MXPlayer just works really nice.
Here you go:

DISCLAIMER: I am providing these kernel modules as-is. Altough they have been tested by me I take no responsibility whatsoever
if you break or damage your device while installing and/or using the modules. I am also not going to explain the steps necessary to actually
use the module. You should already know how to do it...or at least be smart enough to find out what to do
Enjoy!
maui
Sounds like a very helpful piece of code.
I really think that i could need this, but for me as a non developer... how to use this kernel modules?
Could you build a kernel including this modules for flashing via CWM so anybody can use it?

To compile you need the android ndk prebuilt environment. I followed the this howto: http://source.android.com/source/building-kernels.html (from Downloading a prebuilt gcc downwards).
Then you need your kernel sources (look at the android dev section here). In the package is a README_Kernel where you can get the make command to build the default config. From there on you just run make menuconfig and make to compile things.
