As far as I'm concerned, Modules are neccesary to make wifi working when they are not included in kernel.
however, if you go back to a kernel with built in modules, you must delete external modules, if they are duplicated, wifi will not work.

many kernels like nightelf, install its own modules, (they arent uninstalled flashing stock kernel) and if you return to stock, you must flash stock modules.

The correct command is
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_ICS_plus_v4.img
and NOT
Code:
fastboot boot boot_ICS_plus_v4.img

    Latest Kernel mod -> Go Here
    Based on 4.1.B.0.431 ICS 4.0.4 Kernel, features new CPU governors and autoroot.


    Q. Who would benefit from this?
    Those who want to stick to stock kernel for Official ICS (4.1.A.0.562), but would still want to get the benefits of init.d scripts, and native root access!
    I personally feel ICS stock kernel is more battery friendly than Night-elf RC2 kernel.

    Q. Features?
    - init.d support (credits DooMLoRD for showing the way)
    - ro.secure=0 (that is now adb has native root access!)
    - clockworkmod 5.5 (credits Night-elf)
    - no other changes to stock kernel :)


    Download

    boot_ICS_plus_v5.img
    Changes: Previous features +
    1. Switched to Doomlord's arc ics recovery (better features)
    2. Important bug-fixes. (Please update!)

    boot_ICS_plus_v4.img (updated 2012-05-19)
    Changes: Previous features +
    1. Perfect ADB connection in recovery.
    2. Short vibrate on entering recovery added


    boot_stock_ICS_initd_root_cwm_v3.img
    Changes: Now restores stock WIFI modules (so you can directly flash from Night-elf kernel without losing WIFI!)
    Those who are using v2 without problems do not need to update!


    boot_stock_ICS_initd_root_cwm_v2.img
    Changes: CWM 5.5, with ADB & USB mount (credits Night-elf)


    Q. How to install?
    Just as you install a custom kernel.

    If no wifi, just delete "modules_version" and "modules_reversion" in "/system/lib/modules" and reboot

    Steps:
    1. Follow this guide to install official ICS + root
    (Do not install CWM)
    2. If you already have DooMLoRD/nAa CWM, go to /system/bin with any root explorer and delete recovery.tar and chargemon
    3. Power down device and get into FASTBOOT MODE -> switch off device hold menu key & plugin usb. (LED notification turns BLUE)
    4. check fastboot with "fastboot devices"
    5. flash boot image
    fastboot flash boot boot.img
    6. Reboot with "fastboot reboot"
    7. Enjoy!

    Plan to add su, superuser.apk and busybox in v2 :)
    But solutions for all these exists, so not in a hurry..

    Just extract Night-Elf ramdisk and use it. I was planning on doing it in fact. :D

    Yep but that is no big deal. Make a diff patch for the new ramdisk (there shouldn't be much changes, and there is just a few files on the ramdisk...) + remove res/modules folder and launch entry from init.rc.

    Yep, already updated as you speak!! :D See first post..
