auto loading xt_owner.ko module

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Many of as has "xt_owner.ko" compiled as a module,

¿Can you add this command to the "droidwall.sh" script on order to load the 
module?

    modprobe xt_owner

Weird... this shouldn't be necessary since iptables automatically loads the 
necessary modules on-demand.

Does executing "modprobe xt_owner" makes DroidWall work for you? Thanks.

I haven't modprobe on my stock wildfire, but I have insmod
{{{# insmod xt_owner.ko
insmod: can't open 'xt_owner.ko'}}}

Any chance to push a crosscompiled version of that module?
Like we already do with iptables but probably any device will need yours

This is unfortunately not possible.
The kernel validates the object's "magic cookie" before loading it. This means 
that in order to load a kernel object it must be compiled specifically for your 
kernel.

Sorry for the delay.

I have a HTC Hero with Android 2.1.
The stock kernel doesn't supply "xt_owner" module so I compile it by myself, of 
course with the right Versionmagic 2.6.29-063c4d24.

The module "xt_owner", copied to /system/lib/modules is not auto loaded by the 
kernel because wasn't compiled together, instead I need lo load with "modprobe 
xt_owner" command.

Oh, now that makes sense!
I want to implement support for custom scripts soon, so you will be able to do 
anything you want (including loading extra modules) ;)

Thanks a lot.

Is that "magic cookie" related to a spefific kernel compilation?
I mean if I find the same kernel version source code is there any hope to get 
it working or I simply need to keep my eyes on issue #112 ? :)

alberto can you tell me more on your solution?
I want to do the same with my HTC Wildfire with stock ROM, have you used a 
vanilla kernel or any sources released by HTC? Any specific .config setting?

Laurento,

This is for Hero but for Wildfire can be similar:

The attachments are for kernel 2.6.29-063c4d24

Thanks for the reply :)

I successfully compiled the module in the afternoon... I'm going to wait for 
tomorrow to test it. I hope all works ;)

It works like a charm ;)

So now we only need to automatically run "insmod" when driodwall starts and we 
can finally change that xt_owner related faq ;)

Because I really need to use droidwall I made a *worsforme-really-bad-hack* 
patch to autoload xt_owner module if needed.
I don't want to mess with system files, so I placed the module under 
/sdcard/xt_owner.ko

Hello all, I have just added a functionality called "Custom Script" on r210.
This will be officially released on the next version (DroidWall 1.5.3).

I will add more information about CustomScripts in the wiki.
