compiled a kernel but have problem with wifi-tethering

hello!
i compiled my own kernel using the default .config from my device. i just added CONFIG_NETFILTER=y and CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES=y to enable wifi-tethering.
if i start tethering i get a connection, but it is only local and i have'nt a connection to the web.
does someone know why? do i have to enable more than CONFIG_NETFILTER and CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES?
any help would be great!

I would use this .config (look through it for any adjustments you want to make): http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/adp-1_6-kernel-config.gz
Got the info from: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/ADP16KernelUpdate

wow, thanks for the quick reply! and that .config is default with enabled netfilter?

I have not. This featured has worked on previos ROMs and now that I have found a ROM that is fast and suits me, it does not work. I'm sure it has something to do with the IPTables or wpa_supplicant file, but I do not know enough about that to fix it. Hints why Im asking for help.

so, you are using that "myhero"-rom ... right? which version of wpa_supplicant is installed? type "wpa_supplicant -v" in a console. i bet it's v0.5.10!

I am running the MyHero2.2 and you are correct... the wpa_supplicant version is v0.5.10. Should I have another version? How would one get it and install it?

wep-encryption does not work on ANY hero-rom. see here for instance: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=194#c39
if you want wep-encryption take another rom for your sapphire. this is a rom-related issue:

I will look at that Harry. Thanks. I have had the encryption working on a few Hero ROMS before. I may just have to revert back to one of the older ones til a new one comes out. I like the look and feel of the Hero on my MT3G over the Normal Android. Its not as boring.

Looking for cifs.ko for Shield to access windows shares

Hi,
I'm trying to find a cifs module to access windows shares from the Shield with no luck so far. Does anybody know where I can find one already compiled for the latest kernel?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398836 <- You may want to check out the kernel thread. I wouldn't expect anyone to have it ready for a while. There are still a few bigger issues to resolve.
...I also think this thread might be a bit misleading since it's looking for and not offering the cifs.ko but whatever.

When you go to edit the first post, choose advanced editor. It lets you change it from there. I'm sure once we can get kernels building, getting a module will be swift.

Please! I really need permissive for the ability to override /dev/input for my appradio. I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

I can not add it in, all the usual methods do not work. Only way I know is to flash the kernel posted in Original Development. I'm not good working with kernels or I would try adding the modification.

No problem, thanks for the effort anyway. I'm currently running "the arkenstone", which sets selinux to permissive, I was just hoping to have a more stock kernel. Thanks again!

CD Installer
Any chance of modding the boot.img to remove Verizon's CD Installer that pops up when you plug into USB?
Thanks great job on this!!!

You can do this without kernel mod.
First navigate to /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu and change from OFF to ON save and exit.
Next you will want to navigate to /system/etc/autorun.iso and either rename *.bak or delete it.
Now reboot
Finally enter into your dialer *#0808#
Switch to MTP hit OK
Navigate to developer options and enable USB debugging if applicable.
All should be good.

Hmm... seems this doesn't stick through reboot. I will look into the kernel for you.

Enter once again into dialer *#0808# and switch back to MTP + ADB then Reboot
All should be good.

Wondering if you ever got permissive enabled to work with your app radio?
I have been working on this most of the week.
Have the S5 std edition not the dev ed. What phone are you using?
Thanks

Yes, I got it to permissive, but I've got the dev edition, so it's easy (and possible) to change the kernel. I know someone in the forums is working on permissive without kernel change, but last I read it's not completed yet. Best of luck!

Gotcha, Thanks! Im figuring out the kernel stuff. Have been flashing custom roms for years never changed the kernels.
I was under the impression that you could just flash the .zip with safestrap on an std version?
I tried that , never saw the kernel actually change. I thought I was doing something wrong. Your reply leads me to think that changing the kernel on the stock S5 isn't exactly feasible yet?
Thanks!

Question Enable Init.d support?

I tried enabling init.d support on this device using term-init but I get an error in return while running the script: "mount: '/system' not in /proc/mounts". I tried all sorta different init.d apps but that seems to be no work. Is there any other way I can enable init.d support for my device? or if there isnt, how do I fix the mount: /system not in /proc/mounts error. I'm running pixel experience 12 vndklite version. Oh and I also tried remounting but adb root doesn't work.

dude, that thing of "init.d" has been deprecated since andoid 7 is useless now

oh, no wonder most of the searches are atleast 6 years ago

It is kind of useless, but oh well.
