How does one "install" this module? I have the Xtreme 1.0.1 kernel and I ran "insmod -v tun.ko" and it seems to stop the FC on the cisco ipsec vpn. But the module does not survive a reboot. I'm guessing I need to recompile it into the kernel? Can someone post some steps on how to do that?

Also, when using the vpn, after hitting connect, it immediately says failed. I'm not sure if that's because I didn't get tun.ko installed correctly, or just bad credential.

you all rock

first time poster, short time lurker...just started flashing my droid a few weeks ago, and am now also playing with an epic.

just wanted to comment on how much i liked this thread, even though i understand, uh, not much of it. you all rock! keep up the open source mentality and for my part i'll keep purchasing/donating for things i enjoy using. And hefting beers for all of you :D

droid is currently running UD 2.0 with Chevy 1.25 low voltage kernel - fast and awesome!! quadrant in the 1100s

epic currently using syndicate fully loaded 1.0.2 but also tried and liked the froyo betas... quadrant = 1207
[Epic 4G General] shakeup:
Kernel module

Having the tun.ko file alone might not work. For example, I have a Desire HD. I extracted the kernel config from /proc/config.gz and saw that the TUN/TAP module was not even included in the kernel as a module (M). Correct me if I'm wrong but if the kernel isn't even compiled for support for a module, the module will not load even if you try to load the tun.ko module using insmod/modprobe. Your kernel either needs to have the module selected as (M) or (Y) - if you want it buit-in.

Therefore, I had to:

(1) grab the Desire HD sources from http://developer.htc.com

(2) extract the config for that kernel from /proc/config.gz

(3) Also get hold of the android ndk compiler for x-platform compilation for the arm architecture.

(4) compile the kernel sources using that config file in (2) but also with support for tun.ko as a module (m). You can do this with the command 'make menuconfig' in the kernel sources dir. The kernel sources I grabbed from the url above from htc seemed to have a few files missing. One of them was the ntrig.c file, which I got from the main android kernel sources instead.

(5) Once I got them compiled, this generated the kernel as bZimage a few modules (including tun.ko).

(6) For me the next issue was to get the kernel on my device because unless you have a bootloader than ignores signatures on the kernel, you won't be able to upload your new kernel.

(7) I flashed my bootloader to clockworkmod. Used this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=805327

(8) once i unlocked the bootloader I issued a 'fastboot flash zimage zImage' (my compiled version of the kernel)

(9) Uploaded the tun.ko too and did an insmod to loads tun.ko and it worked.
[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
You don't, you have to "insmod" it on every reboot.

You can compile a kernel with the tun driver built-in, so you don't need to rely on an external module. But it's tougher to keep up with kernel updates that way. Ask in the thread of your favorite kernel where to obtain the source and instructions for compiling it.
[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
That's not the case. The kernel does need to be compiled with general module support, but this will always be the case since the Epic uses a fair number of proprietary driver modules.

Setting a particular driver to be compiled as a module (=m) in the kernel config simply means the module, and any of its dependencies, are built alongside the kernel. The kernel itself is the same in either case, unless the module requires a kernel option/driver that can't be compiled as a module, which is rare these days, but was more common in Linux 2.4 and earlier.

In any event, the tun.ko posted here does work with stock DI18.

Edit: There is an issue when you try to compile a driver module that requires an option to be enabled in a different driver that's built-in to the kernel you're using but is currently disabled. I can't think of a good example of such at the moment, but I think I have ran into it in the past.
[Epic 4G General] rcboosted:
It's obvious I'm no linux or android expert by any means. I have no clue how to compile a kernel or recompile a module. So all this talk about recompiling is way over my head.

I'm just trying to connect to a IPSec vpn server using vpnc client (http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/). Currently running Epic Experience rom and the latest Xtreme kernel. Everytime I tried to connect, it fails immediately. I've verified my credentials are correct, so I don't know what else I can do except wait for CM 6 to come out for the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
I'm not familiar with that particular program, but you can get a better idea of what's going wrong with a logcat dump.

For example, your credentials might be correct, but your phone might still have difficulty resolving the server, negotiating the connection, etc.
[Epic 4G General] rcboosted:
Thanks for the help. I tried logcat and the authentication part seems to be ok, this is what happens after the authentication:

D/VPN_Connections(29594): done interacting with vpnc

D/VPN_Connections(29594): process stderr:

D/VPN_Connections(29594): Read vpnc process line as null

D/VPN_Connections(29594): Attempt to read vpnc process id did not return anything

D/VPN_Connections(29594): process had died, return as failed connection

It doesn't tell me much, but maybe it means something to you. :p
[Epic 4G General] jimmyz:
I would guess you need a tun.ko specifically for that kernel you are using (Xtreme)- maybe its best to go back to stock- use the tun.ko in this thread and see if you can get it to work?
[Epic 4G General] AtomicPlayboy:
Still no dice here. I've followed the steps outlined in this thread and those linked processes, but I still can't connect. tun.ko seems to load through insmod without problems; it's in /system/lib, don't know if that makes a difference. I'm using get-a-robot configured appropriately to the best of my knowledge.

Can anybody confirm this system works? Is there an equivalent "vpnc" program that I can run through ConnectBot or similar?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidPerson:
Ive tried on the iphone and iphone 3g, when i pinch google maps on those phones it just zooms in or out, it loads the map as a single image and you navigate anywhere on that image. But when i pinch on an android phone (ive tried on the nexus, slide, vibrant g1, g2 and evo) it has to load a new image and from what i can tell, wherever i pinch to, it then loads an image of the maps at some point relatively near where i zoom. So where the iphones load the entire map and just zoom to wherever you pinch, android has to load different images and they arent where you actually pinch, like it has a number of levels it can zoom to, and when you pinch it, it just loads the image it has thats closest to where you zoom. Its disorienting and extremely not smooth, but then i might not even bring this up if i hadnt used iphones so much, so i guess thats my fault. Maybe that doesnt make sense, if you try on an iphone then an android you cant miss it. Its actually a big deal, especially since it should work better on an android phone. Does anybody know what i am describing and can anyone explain it better than me and possibly explain why and if we could expect it to get better?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
Im almost positive i started this exact same thread some time ago. But im still looking for answers maybe this thread will be more productive. Google maps is the best app on android i think, it does a lot of great stuff, its so useful and the gps navigation is just awesome. But damn if it isnt almost adulterous how much smoother and coherent the zooming is on the stupid iphone version (at least the last few iphones, ive never touched the original iphone). Like you, If i wasnt aware of how well it works on the iphone this would likely be a non issue, i mean google maps on android obviously has zooming issues but i wouldnt know it could be different if not for apple so i might not care.

i am also really curious to learn the technical explanation, and whether or not we should just get used to it. But its a very blatant effect thats happening so its surprising not much is said about it, i guess the people who havent messed with google maps on an iphone wouldnt even notice it as something that could be better and more accurate in the first place.

And I wouldnt mind that it has to load a new image for every pinch if it would just load an image of the level of zoom i pinched to, but youre spot on, it seems like it has certain levels of zoomed images, and it loads the image that is nearest to the one you pinch to. I mean almost everytime i zoom in or out, i have to take time to figure out what its showing me because it really isnt loading an image of where i think its going to be. And like you ive tried it on all sorts of androids, the ones you said plus the incredible, droid, and droid x and its across the board. still love the app, and im pretty sure apple doesnt get the free google navigation although i may be wrong on that. but its embarrassing that the stupid iphone does it so much better, it just aint right.

BTW i was messing with my friends I4 the other day, and the screen looked microscopic. I mean, its the most brilliant, crisp screen in existence on a mobile device, but i have a vibrant ive been using and compared to it, and even my nexus, that I4 feels like a g1!! i dont know why they are so proud of that 3.5" form...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Google Maps has several, predefined levels of zoom. Both on mobile and on desktop. You can easily see that - look at the ruler at the lower left corner and note the ~x2 changes.

On Android it just goes from one level to another.

I've never used iPhone, so I wouldn't know, but since the levels of zoom are the same across implementations, I guess that it's something else rather than "any zoom". I'll try to take one to play with to see what's the difference and find an explanation you're looking for.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidPerson:
Any luck finding a 3g or newer to try Google maps on?

I think that setting aesthetics aside, I'm real interested because sometimes ill have a point picked out on the map, like and address or store or whatever, and I've zoomed in and the image it loads doesn't even have the point anymore, I have to scroll around and find it. But the point is clearly front and center while my fingers are still touching the screen, after ive pinched to my desired level. But then once I remove my fingers, its like rolling the dice to see what maps image its going to load. I really like Google maps, its one of the best things about android phones, navigation is superb. But the zooming problem is on every android and since its smooth and accurate on that "other" phone I'm sure it can be just as good on android. Hell its an android app for crying out loud!!!! So I'm interested to see what you determine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I didn't have a chance to play with iPhone, but I've checked my own Google maps again, and I believe I know the reason for the behavior you're describing. It's a known bug, if I'm not mistaken (which doesn't make it less annoying). In any case, it's worth reporting to Google.

In Google maps on Android, when you pinch to zoom, you see the zoom-in to whatever is between your fingers. But when you release your fingers, the point to which the map zooms is - dead center of the previous screen, which does or doesn't correspond to the place you were zooming to. Try to do the following - load a map on any zoom level, move it so the center of the screen will be easily identifiable, and try to zoom on any point which isn't the center. As long as you'll keep your fingers on the screen - you'll see the point you're zooming into, and when you release - note that you have this object, that was right in the screen center before, zoomed in.

It's funny that this bug appears only on Android...

Quick question

The FM looks great and by no means am I complaining, but how come you use a resolution of 640 x 500 and not 960 x 800? Its not hard to center it at all on the screen etc. but if it were at 960 x 800, the end user wouldn't have to worry about centering it at all.

Again I'm completely satisfied, but maybe for your future wallpapers...definitely no need to redo the ones you've done.
