I have no idea how it happened, perhaps the other devs add a load of useless options, but all I did was follow the instructions at that link above and compiled a zImage from the 2.6.32 arm branch, using the 2010 arm tools. Used NBHeditor to edit it for Kaiser, panel 2, froyo, flashed it and bang (not literally thank god).

I can't answer any better than that. I used the default options (for now at least) that the vogue build script uses for the kernel, but bluetooth, camera and gps work. No internet connection as yet either through the network or wifi, dumno what I've missed there, and no ipv6 (but can add that easily enough). Wifi doesn't work either, but I'm working on it, although that MAY be the reason why it's so fast...maybe it's missing a few options...still unsure at this point.

I notice that although this is an open community, and people attach NBHs, there are no changelogs or anything showing what the people have done with the kernel to implement some options, so it's kinda holding me back at the minute.

That isn't true, all tested changes are pushed to git, you can see what has been changed and how from here: http://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.ne...c-vogue-2.6.32

*facepalm!*
Didn't see that, will bookmark it and keep an eye on it, perhaps work with it. Thanks for the link

the androidhtc.com site is not related directly to the develop project because no developer is connected to it. Also the git repository it not hosted in linux to go but on sourceforge (so download the correct git). That site is very outdated.

wifi works if you use the correct branch (on sourceforge) and modules.

Am I right in thinking that http://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.ne...2ce26b;hb=HEAD is the prebuilt kernels and nbhs from the source at http://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.ne...7e4f93d12584fb ??
I think I'm looking at the right tree now.

Flashing the latest NBH: VOGUIMG-320-FROYO-01-16-11.NBH still gives me the wifi error. Do I need to manually add the wlan.ko to it or ??

I could've sworn that an NBH I flashed before had all that in the NBH and it worked fine.

Ok, got it back to how I had it:

Flashed latest.NBH from http://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.ne...2ce26b;hb=HEAD and dropped androidupdate.tgz to the /andboot folder of the SD card, installed update thru the boot menu and done.

So in reality there's nothing stopping me grabbing the same kernel source, building it and adding ipv6 support in the ncurses kernel config menu and making an NBH from it and flashing that over, and then doing the androidupdate.tgz, although I think with HTCFlasherGUI you can flash a zImage directly right??

Is there something wrong with the git at http://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.ne....git;a=summary I can't get access, it's showing old stuff. It looks closed since git clone rejects me

No, nothing wrong with it. Just do:

git clone git://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.net/androidhtc/kernel.git

You then need to set it to the correct branch using 'git checkout -b <branch you want> '
It's the 2.6.32 branch you are interested in, you can find out exactly what it's called using 'git branch -a' which will list the available branches.

Cool. Knew something went wrong somewhere, had to be me lol!

I added that ipv6.ko to the NAND via a androidupdate.tgz (only way I could do it), and it didn't work, something about incorrect module format (or something like that).

Are there any prebuilt kernels or NBHs for the Kaiser that include ipv6? Either as a module that I can insmod it in the terminal or built-in?
I hate being upstaged by people that can use Goggles without any problems.

I know slayher's kernels have ipv6, but I flashed the new stock one from http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/4...ls-by-slayher/ and it didn't work. I mean the kernel did, but Goggles didn't - couldn't insmod it either - same invalid module format as the ipv6.ko scooter did for me

Also the git clone didn't work:

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/name/android-git/kernel/.git/
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
