Default tun.ko for GT-I5500 and GT-S5570

I have looked for a tunnel kernel module for the samsung i5500 with the FROYO version 2.6.32.9-perf

I couldnt find it anywhere, so I have compiled my own. Here it is, sorry if it's been done before..

I have tested this on my european stock 2.2 JP3 kernel updated with kies and on a stock GT-S5570. It may work on other phones with the same kernel version..

as per usual place in /system/lib/modules

then the vpn services should work..

the tun.ko is necessary for the vpnc application and for the openVPN application.

there are few tutorials out there about openVPN integration with android, the main things that you need are this module, a rooted phone and the android sdk installed so that you can send files with the phone using 'adb'.

If you are not interested in these apps then you dont need the kernel module.

DONATE TO ME
Just in case anyone needs to know, my CyanogenMod port's kernel already has TUN built-in, so this module won't work (and isn't needed, either).
Current projects:
Samsung Galaxy 5 (GT-I5500): CM10.1 / CM7 / CWM
Vodafone Smart (Huawei U8160): CM9 / CM7
