Barnacle working with my setup, need testers.

[vampirefo]

This is if you have the Leshak wireless tethering app installed
open ternimal
su
remount rw

cp /system/etc/rtecdc.bin /system/etc/rtecdc.org
rm /system/etc/rtecdc.bin
cp /data/data/android.tether/bin/rtecdc.bin /system/etc/rtecdc.bin

Then go to market and install Barnacle

If the Leshak wireless tethering app isn't installed then

you can use this one http://www.mediafire.com/?ymroinj13kt#1  (rename the file from rtecdc_bin to rtecdc.bin)

copy to sdcard

open ternimal
su
remount rw

cp /system/etc/rtecdc.bin /system/etc/rtecdc.org
rm /system/etc/rtecdc.bin
cp  /sdcard/rtecdc.bin /system/etc/rtecdc.bin
chmod 755 /system/etc/rtecdc.bin

Then go to market and install Barnacle

Note it's been reported the file is being downloaded as rtecdc_bin file needs to renamed to rtecdc.bin

[mussio]

when i use connectbot this command is not found cp  /sdcard/rtecdc.bin /system/etc/rtecdc.bin the file is in the root of my sd card

[PITABoy]

I'm about to test. Glad that you got this working (I thanked you) also your kernel seems to break the ability to read from the sd card via usb. Might just be my setup though anyway I'm off to reroot my phone and test this. Thanks again.

[vampirefo]

if you can't cp then use cat, don't know why you can't cp, perhaps you are using official 2.1 kernel.

anyway try

cat  /sdcard/rtecdc.bin > /system/etc/rtecdc.bin

No on my setup, do you have debugging on? I always have debugging on.

cat  /sdcard/rtecdc.bin > /system/etc/rtecdc.bin

OK i got it for some reason the file on my sd card reads rtecdc_bin i replaced _ with . and it worked i installed barnacle and am using it right now thanks a bunch IT WORKS!!!


O and i'm using joeys latest kernel.

Looks like a good find vampirefo.  Sifting through that file...  It looks like it might be loadable firmware for a series of Broadcom wireless chips.  Interesting....   Not sure what to do with it yet, but that might be the difference between the size of the stock dhd.ko and LeshaK's.

Using this method you don't need netfilters in kernel - correct?

[mussio]

i believe so i'm using joeys kernel and no netlifters

[PITABoy]

I got it working... below is my speed and I am using the STOCK kernel no need for netfilters.

I also made a script that should be run as root to automate the copying of the file and chmoding to fix the wifi.

Code: [Select]

mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/sdl5 /system
cat /ststem/etc/rtecdc.bin > /system/etc/rtecdc.bin.bak
rm /system/etc/rtecdc.bin
cat /sdcard/rtecdc.bin > /system/etc/rtecdc.bin
chmod 755 /system/etc/rtecdc.bin
mount -t rfs -o remount,ro /dev/sdl5 /system
echo "Done!"
just name it file.sh and go to your sdcard and run it as root. EDIT: the script does not work ...  Let me know if you have any suggestions.

[mussio]

here is mine.

For the best speed results, you'll probably want to hit up IP 2 Location and see where Sprint's actually placing your IP's "home" location.

Followed steps and everything went fine. rtecdc_bin is what's downloaded via the mediafire link in the first post, so if you grab it from there you'll need to include the bolded step below, technically:

cp /system/etc/rtecdc.bin /system/etc/rtecdc.org
mv /sdcard/rtecdc_bin /sdcard/rtecdc.bin
cp  /sdcard/rtecdc.bin /system/etc/rtecdc.bin
chmod 755 /system/etc/rtecdc.bin

Or, of course, you could just rename the file ahead of time

Set up Barnacle and my laptop (vista 32) immediately recognized and connected with joeykrim's 2.0.1 kernel.

I know just enough info on these sorts of things to be dangerous to myself, and so I was looking for an easy way to retain the custom kitchen kernel via joey's page with all the removed apps and included stock 2.1 features the custom kernel allows for. The wifi-included kernel from vampirefo is great, but this is the best way to keep everything already built via the custom builder and gain wifi tethering.

I'll keep playing with it, but so far I'm thrilled. Thank you!

Barnicle didn't work for me.  I was able to get the file to cp and all but barnicle wouldn't connect.

[cnstarz]

working great!

That's an awesome ping time for 3g.

I'm trying this now ill update with my speed.
