Ethernet patch for the 4.0.4 ics-x86 variants (applicable to Android-X86 4.0-RC2 as well)

[Bruce Q]

Hi Ron,

Thank you for your build. I have tried all the builds on my Samsung Series
7 Slate and yours seems to have nearly everything working except for the
touchscreen and it doesn't seem to be able to wake up from sleep.

I see this patch for RC1 and have no idea how I can apply this to your
build. Can you help me with this?
http://code.google.com/p/android-samsung700t/source/browse/islate/android-amaxtouch.patch

Follow the function updateDevInfo() at class EthernetManager. You'll
find whatever you need there.
You'll see the usage in the patch of packages/apps/Settings .
-Ron

but do you know which class/file responsible for that? because i

couldn't

know :)

Of course you can. You have the sources :-)

Hi Ron and thanks for your reply!
I know that i can do it from setting or shell commands but i meant if

it

could be done internally by modifying maybe source code.

You should be able to do that form the Settings --> Ethernet menu.
Check the non-DHCP radio button and put your static settings.
If that does not work - go to the console, and configure it with
"ifconfig" as if you were on any linux distribution.
Verify your settings with "netcfg".
Anyway - settings/static IP should work.

Hallo!
I have applied the patches and it works fine, is there a way to

set

a
static IP address?
Thank you!

This patch has already been added to 4.0-RC2

[Bruce Q]

Hi Chih-Wei,

How do I get the touchscreen to work with RC2? I tried nearly all the ISO
and the only one that seem to have the touchscreen working on my s7s
is android-x86-4.0-RC2-s103t.iso.
This image keep giving the error of SystemUI has stopped working though. I
tried typing modprobe wacom in debug mode as someone suggested on the
forums and this doesn't seem to work either.

Thanks Ron. I just tried it and it seems to a bit better but I still get
that error Unfortunately System Ui has stopped.
The s103t image doesn't seem to have wireless and sound support on the
Samsung Slate.

For now I think I will use your iso with the mouse and keyboard until I
find out how to enable the amaxtouch driver.

I used a image with touchscreen support and copied the required idc file
from it. I cannot copy this file insto the system directory as I have
installed android on fat32 partition. I am dual booting with windows 8 and
macosx at the same time. Android is installed on the 3rd partition.

I tried format the partition as ext2 and ext3 but I get an error 17 on boot
if I do this. Any ideas?

Hi Ron,

Awesome job!

Would it be possible to provide steps you took to generate this build?

As I mentioned in my post here:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/android-x86/ouzzu1Pluo4/discussion<https://groups.google.com/d/topic/android-x86/ouzzu1Pluo4/discussion>,
your desktop_generic.iso build works for me!

I would like to reproduce it, so that I can add modifications to it.

Thanks,
fierte

Thanks Carlo.

Hi Ron,
This is great. I will test this and will let you know. many thanks! -->>
Carlo

I did the search for you... Please try
http://www.sendspace.com/file/l2gebz .
I think E1000/E also contains the drivers for the E100 .
I am now building you another version with CONFIG_E100, and if it
builds OK I will upload it somewhere but it will take some time - and
will be untested (cf. to the previous link which has been thoroughly
tested on a couple of targets).
Please let me know if that iso worked for you, and if it didn't you
can expect a new one (again, untested!) in a couple of hours.

I have posted in this group a couple of months ago a link to an .iso
with ethernet support for at least some of the targets.
If that one works for you - I will later upload another iso (for

RC2).

Otherwise - you don't have "eth0" enabled simply because it is not
built with your kernel, so we need to identify your NIC.
For that, come up with a live linux CD if you can, let me know what
the output for lspci -k says and I will try to support you on this
one.
How about that?

Thank you.

I pretty much explained it before with the kernel config etc.
I would be glad to share my device tree with you but the most of the
important stuff is pretty much explained here before, with the listing of
the kernel config.
Other than that I added a couple of firmware (ucode) files to
/lib/firmware, and did what we all do
I am not sure whether it is legitimate to add the arm-libs and the google
apps into a git-hub repository, as they should be proprietary.
Can anyone advice on uploading this stuff (arm-libs, gapps) to github, or
some other public repository?
It's pretty simple to find what comes where, but if I share my device tree
partially you won't be able to use it as is without the arm stuff.

Hi Ron,
Awesome job!
Would it be possible to provide steps you took to generate this build?
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/android-x86/ouzzu1Pluo4/discussion<https://groups.google.com/d/topic/android-x86/ouzzu1Pluo4/discussion>,
your desktop_generic.iso build works for me!
I would like to reproduce it, so that I can add modifications to it.
Thanks,
fierte

Thanks Carlo.

Hi Ron,
This is great. I will test this and will let you know. many thanks!

I did the search for you... Please try
http://www.sendspace.com/file/l2gebz .
I think E1000/E also contains the drivers for the E100 .
I am now building you another version with CONFIG_E100, and if it
builds OK I will upload it somewhere but it will take some time - and
will be untested (cf. to the previous link which has been thoroughly
tested on a couple of targets).
Please let me know if that iso worked for you, and if it didn't you
can expect a new one (again, untested!) in a couple of hours.

Hi Ron,

Greeting!

I am playing with the android source code by building my own build and I
want to apply your patch, but I stop in the portion where you said kernel
config as where to find that?

Also, when I make a git patch command, I see warnings, like

"warning: core/pathmap.mk has type 100755, expected 100644"

Btw, I just get the sourcecode the other day so i think i will have the
latest one.

With Kind Regards, Carlo

Hi guys,
For those of you who wanted to integrate an Ethernet patch to their
recent build,
this is a slightly modified version of my previous patch set derived
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/MPoj2Bzd-rE)
1. Applies on 4.0.4 variants
2. If an interface called "eth*" exists - it will select the lowest
eth number as the eth device, so that it can connect automatically to
the ethernet device, rather than choose automatically
sit or ipv6 tunneling devices.
3. Removed the misleading "No internet connection" when internet is
connected.
I tested it on a couple of IMM76I and IMM76L targets.
There is still more work to be done, but that should get you going
without much trouble.
BTW: I have another patch set which has the ethernet configuration be
toggled by a switch as with the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth case in the
Settings application, but it was too quick, and too dirty so I am not
posting it yet. If anyone would like to have that feature, or even
better work on it (Just need to change the Setting and SystemUI
(Tablet) apps, but it's quite multi-layered so they need to know what
they're doing)
##### How to apply the patch: #####
# Copy the attached tarball to your AX86 build top directory and do
tar -xzvf EthernetPatch_IMM76I_L.tar.gz
cd build/
git apply 0001-Adding-Ethernet-patch-for-android-x86-4.0-RC1-AOSP-4.patch

Hi Bartek,

You just need to follow the instructions from Ron's message. It should work
as what dscm says. I am currently making a build now and I think it will
finish by the end of the day.. hehehe!.. I only have Pentium D with 2gb of
memory and compiling takes a whole day for me in ubuntu 12.04.

Is there any kind of documentation on where to find the folders for the
drivers that I need for my device? I see some files that has options with
"yes" and "no" but I couldn't figure out which of those drivers are for my
drivers.. hehehe.. some are initials. I can google the initials thou but
maybe there is a nice tutorial or documentation for this, and is very much
appreciated.

Anyway, great work for androidx86 community!.. -- carlo

Hi All,

I tried to apply this patch to newest ics source tree (from
android-x86.org), but the generated image can't boot normally (only the
android logo blinks every several seconds). If no patch is applied, the
generated image can boot as usual, so I assume that something was wrong
during my patch applying.

I did saw some warnings like white spaces during the git apply, but the
compiling was successful so I thought it should be fine.

I really don't want to manually apply the patch... Anyone had the same
error before?

PS: I am targeting eeepc and using the image in qemu-kvm.

Thanks,
Asahi

Hi,

I ran into exactly the same issue.

Turns out there is a typo in Rons (otherwise EXCELLENT) patch:
line 113 of frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml should read:
<item>"wifi,1,1,1,-1,true"</item>

ie, wifi should be lower not upper case.

At least making that change and recompiling the image fixed it for me.

thanks again Ron for your very useful patch, hope the x86 team can merge it
in for the next RC.

Maks.

Hi All,
I tried to apply this patch to newest ics source tree (from
android-x86.org), but the generated image can't boot normally (only the
android logo blinks every several seconds). If no patch is applied, the
generated image can boot as usual, so I assume that something was wrong
during my patch applying.
I did saw some warnings like white spaces during the git apply, but the
compiling was successful so I thought it should be fine.
I really don't want to manually apply the patch... Anyone had the same
error before?
PS: I am targeting eeepc and using the image in qemu-kvm.
Thanks,
Asahi

to all who are having issues withRon'spatch, I applied his patch to
RC2 about a month ago and
it all worked fine....follow his instructions he references in these
threads....will revisit the work in the next week or so
if time permits........

HiRon,
Greeting!
I am playing with the android source code by building my own build

and I want to apply your patch, but I stop in the portion where you said
kernel config as where to find that?

Also, when I make a git patch command, I see warnings, like
"warning: core/pathmap.mk has type 100755, expected 100644"
Btw, I just get the sourcecode the other day so i think i will have

the latest one.

With Kind Regards, Carlo

[sundar rajan]

Hi Ron,

I integrated the ethernet patches in board which is running on ICS mobile
code.
My objective is to make the android connectivityManager to understand the
ethernet support.

Afterwards,Settings are not launching.

I added below lines in init.rc:


#this is for ethernet support as similar to WiFi support
service dhcpcd_eth0 /system/bin/dhcpcd -ABKL
disabled
oneshot
service iprenew_eth0 /system/bin/dhcpcd -n
disabled
oneshot

created /data/misc/dhcp folder.Ethernet service is running fine. But I am
getting below logs:

01-02 00:00:38.578 E/EthernetStateTracker( 1275): DhcpHandler: DHCP request
failed: Timed out waiting for dhcpcd to start
01-02 00:00:38.578 D/EthernetStateTracker( 1275): DhcpHandler: DHCP request
started
01-02 00:01:08.588 E/EthernetStateTracker( 1275): DhcpHandler: DHCP request
failed: Timed out waiting for dhcpcd to start

I am not able to get IP address from ethernet service level.Sometimes I am
getting IP address in ethernet service as below:

D/EthernetStateTracker( 1130): DhcpHandler: DHCP request succeeded: addr:
10.1.25.45/20 mRoutes: 0.0.0.0/0 -> 10.1.16.1 | dns: 10.1.0.200,10.1.0.210
dhcpServer: 10.1.0.200 leaseDuration: 604800
W/EthernetStateTracker( 1130): Could not stop DHCP


After sometimes I am getting the DHCP timed out error.

while analysing this issue,I observed the following:

1)EthernetMonitor.java is handling 3 events.
PHYUP -while connecting ethernet cable, ethernet service is getting
this notification
DISCONNECTED - ethernet service is getting this notification while
disconnecting ethernet cable
CONNECTED - I am not at all getting this notication

My Question is:

1) How ethernet monitor is receiving notifications ?
2) CONNECTED state is not received in ethernet service. Is it a rootcause
of the problem?
3) DHCPCD or DHCP timed out issue is happening?
4) I applied the ethernet patch over the ICS mobile code. Is it a problem ?
5) Settings are crashing. Is it a known issue?


I am really thankful if you can give me some pointers to proceed in this
issue.

Hi,

I am also interested in this, it seems the VPN connections are not working
(when using only ethernet) from the same reason.

Hi Ron,

I manually deployed your patch and now the system can boot normally. I
still don't know what the error was though.

Thanks again for your work.

Hi Ron,

I'm working on a Zotac node with the eeepc build. With your patch
everything is working fine with normal use.

But for my next project I need two interfaces to connect (wireless and
ethernet). Is this even possible on Android? When I start the ethernet the
wireless loses connection and the other way around as-well.

And one small bug I found with your patch is when Android device goes to
sleep and wakes up again the ethernet connection can't be reestablished
automatically.

Greetings,
Elias

Nate, I pretty much just followed Ron's instructions (that you quoted
below) after following the instructions on how to get the code from here:
http://www.android-x86.org/getsourcecode

and it worked for me, barring the small change I made that I commented on
in my previous post.

Hi All,

Ethernet patch is working fine. But At a time, I can use either wifi or
ethernet.
Is it possible to make android to work on wifi and ethernet at the same
time as similar to Ubuntu ?

I installed android-x86-4.0-RC2-eeepc.iso<http://android-x86.googlecode.com/files/android-x86-4.0-RC2-eeepc.iso>in xen successfully. It works great except for ethernet/vif support. I
configure it with a vif interface and the OS does not list an eth0 or any
eth interface.

I am reading but I would like to ask for direction. Should I apply the
patch below? Download a build with support already integrated?

I have not ever compiled android but would like to. Someone mentioned
somewhere that the below patch would work if the interface is already
there. Else I would need to compile a module for support. Are they wrong?

Thanks,

Hi guys,
For those of you who wanted to integrate an Ethernet patch to their
recent build,
this is a slightly modified version of my previous patch set derived
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/MPoj2Bzd-rE)
1. Applies on 4.0.4 variants
2. If an interface called "eth*" exists - it will select the lowest
eth number as the eth device, so that it can connect automatically to
the ethernet device, rather than choose automatically
sit or ipv6 tunneling devices.
3. Removed the misleading "No internet connection" when internet is
connected.
I tested it on a couple of IMM76I and IMM76L targets.
There is still more work to be done, but that should get you going
without much trouble.
BTW: I have another patch set which has the ethernet configuration be
toggled by a switch as with the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth case in the
Settings application, but it was too quick, and too dirty so I am not
posting it yet. If anyone would like to have that feature, or even
better work on it (Just need to change the Setting and SystemUI

Hi WebDrawg,

If the eeepc works for you then try to download the eeepc version in this
link www.tabletsx86.org. Those builds have ethernet patches. Good luck!

Anyone have a copy of android-x86-4.0.4-eth0-eeepc-20120911.iso or
know what patches I should put in to make it?

It was on tabletsx86.org but has been deleted.

Ron's patch is for the Android source code. It should be run on the system
that compiles Android, not within Android itself like you are trying to do.

I've never tried compiling Android myself, so I can't comment on how easy
or hard that is to do. You can read more about it on this page:

Hi Ron,

I've applied your patch without problems, however, the ethernet service
ends up trying to use an IPv6 tunneling interface.

I cannot see the code filtering the interface names to get only eth*, did I
missed something?

the ipv6 device gets selected by default but you can just change that to
use eth0 in the ethernet settings section of android "Settings" .

@Maksim (sorry hit the wrong button)

I understood that I can select the required interface via the Settings UI,
but we don't use it.

We've added support for Ethernet via this patch to benefit from the better
implementation of the connection life cycle.

As Ron's stated in his second point, this patch should auto select ethX
(with X the smallest possible) when it detects interfaces so we don't have
to change it by hand. And this is where I got stuck, because I cannot find
where this is supposed to be done (seems missing).

I've modified android_net_ethernet.cpp#netlink_init_interfaces_list to keep
only ethX interfaces, but this isn't generic anymore...

Thus, my question :)

Cheers,

Romain

Oops I replied directly to you to. Here it is for everyone else:

Hi Romain,

Apologies, I should not have assumed you were asking from the viewpoint of
a user instead of a developer.

You're completely correct, eth0 should be selected by default but isn't as
you point out and I see the same thing here using Ron's patch.

I think that android_net_ethernet.cpp#netlink_init_interfaces_list should
still iterate interfaces other than eth* so I agree its better to add a
sort at the end of the function to put eth* at the start of the list.
If you are not planning to write that I might have a go at it in the next
few days.

Maks.

As Ron's stated in his second point, this patch should auto select ethX
(with X the smallest possible) when it detects interfaces so we don't have
to change it by hand. And this is where I got stuck, because I cannot find
where this is supposed to be done (seems missing).
I've modified android_net_ethernet.cpp#netlink_init_interfaces_list to
keep only ethX interfaces, but this isn't generic anymore...
Thus, my question :)
Cheers,
Romain

the ipv6 device gets selected by default but you can just change that to
use eth0 in the ethernet settings section of android "Settings" .

Hi Ron,
I've applied your patch without problems, however, the ethernet service
ends up trying to use an IPv6 tunneling interface.
I cannot see the code filtering the interface names to get only eth*,
did I missed something?
Cheers,

Hi guys,
For those of you who wanted to integrate an Ethernet patch to their
recent build,
this is a slightly modified version of my previous patch set derived
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/MPoj2Bzd-rE)
1. Applies on 4.0.4 variants
2. If an interface called "eth*" exists - it will select the lowest
eth number as the eth device, so that it can connect automatically to
the ethernet device, rather than choose automatically
sit or ipv6 tunneling devices.
3. Removed the misleading "No internet connection" when internet is
connected.
I tested it on a couple of IMM76I and IMM76L targets.
There is still more work to be done, but that should get you going
without much trouble.
BTW: I have another patch set which has the ethernet configuration be
toggled by a switch as with the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth case in the
Settings application, but it was too quick, and too dirty so I am not
posting it yet. If anyone would like to have that feature, or even
better work on it (Just need to change the Setting and SystemUI
(Tablet) apps, but it's quite multi-layered so they need to know what
they're doing)

Hi ;)

No problem ! I'm not very fluent in C/C++, so I'd prefer not to code it, to
avoid bad practices :p

However, I can try to do it and show you to see if it's okay.

Post by Maksim Lin
Hi Romain,
Apologies, I should not have assumed you were asking from the viewpoint of
a user instead of a developer.
You're completely correct, eth0 should be selected by default but isn't as
you point out and I see the same thing here using Ron's patch.
I think that android_net_ethernet.cpp#netlink_init_interfaces_list should
still iterate interfaces other than eth* so I agree its better to add a
sort at the end of the function to put eth* at the start of the list.
If you are not planning to write that I might have a go at it in the next
few days.
Maks.

Hi,

which is the most up to date ethernet patch?
I found one at the bottom of the download page of android-x86 and one in
the oldest post in this thread.
they look similar but its too much to decide which one is "better" by
viewing the contents.

[Romain Sertelon]

Based on the publishing dates, Ron's patch (in this thread) seems to be the
most up to date patch ;)

Its been a long time since I've done any C/C++ myself, so I'm happy for you
too have a go if you have the time and inclination.

If you do do it, feel free to post the patch, I'll be happy to test it out
and give any other help or feedback I can.
