Kernel Not Compiled for Tethering #180

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk  for code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether
2. run from adb for root access (adb shell am start -n 
android.tether/android.tether.MainActivity
3. Error message displayed on screen...

"No Netfilter!:
Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running this 
application.  Please see our FAQ: 
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/FAQ"

The FAQ says...
Why do I get the message "No Netfilter" on startup? 

This means that the Linux kernel on your device does not have the features 
(CONFIG_NETFILTER, CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES and CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MAC) 
required for tethering.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Tethering application starts without error with netfilter available.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Wireless Tethering v2.0.7
android-on-freerunner-cupcake-daily-20110312.tar.gz (ran's build)

Please provide any additional information below.
If the next release of android on freerunner kernel can be compiled with the 
necessary kernel options turned on I would like to retest tethering.

Did you manage to set these flags and recompile?
