Hi,
Last week I received my Archos 101. In general it is great. Even better is this forum
I installed urukdroid (thanks to the project-team!). I tried to use openvpn but it failed and I am not sure about the reason.
The server-configuration is
...
ifconfig-pool 10.10.10.120 10.10.10.130
push "route 10.10.10.1"
route 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
push "route-gateway 10.10.10.1"
push "route 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0"
...
As the Archos is the only device it would get IP 10.10.10.120.
BUT: ifconfig shows:
inet addr.: 10.10.10.255 Bcast: 10.255.255.255 Mask 255.0.0.0
That did (and cannot) work. No ping to home network possible.
When I called route it looked fine (I used redirect-gateway).
When I send the command
ifconfig tap0 10.10.10.120 broadcast 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
from Archos Terminal I had at least access to my home network. But all route entries are gone.
Who has an idea what I am doing wrong? I checked it in the last day again and again... If there is no solution: is it possible to 'save' the entries from route and restore it after my manual change of ifconfig? I would like to do it via script, as my home network I only reachable via dyndns.
Thanks and best regards!
I used the OpenVPN Howto Quickstart and had no problems.

Yes, I know the guide. I did the same with my ubuntu-netbook and it works directly.
And I think, it would work also on the Archos, if the openvpn/ifconfig on Archos accept the 10.10.10.120. But the IP is changed to 10.10.10.255 and that did not fit.
Where the h*** did the 255 instead of 120 come from?
I noticed the same problem...
No idea where it comes from, but as a workaround, you can put a script somewhere containing a suitable "ip addr add x.x.x.x/y dev z" statement, and reference that in the .conf file as "up scriptname".
Note that you need to add "--script-security 2" to the openvpn commandline to make that work. I added that to the OPENVPN_CFG variable in /etc/uruk.conf/openvpn.

This is the openvpn configuration I use for my Archos 101 (on the server). I'm not having any problems, using openvpn 2.1.1:
Code:
port 1194
dev tun
tls-server
ca /etc/openvpn/keys/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/keys/[COLOR="Blue"]<my host>[/COLOR].crt
key /etc/openvpn/keys/[COLOR="blue"]<my host>[/COLOR].key
dh /etc/openvpn/keys/dh1024.pem
mode server
ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2
ifconfig-pool 10.8.0.4 10.8.0.255
push "route 10.8.0.1 255.255.255.255"
client-config-dir ccd
push "redirect-gateway def1"
push "dhcp-option DOMAIN [COLOR="Blue"]<my domain>[/COLOR]"
push "dhcp-option DNS [COLOR="blue"]<my dns server>[/COLOR]"
keepalive 10 60
inactive 3600
route 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
user openvpn
group openvpn
persist-tun
persist-key
verb 4
I examined the situation a bit further.
The problem comes from the ifconfig command that openvpn calls itself:
Code:
/system/bin/ifconfig myvpn \
192.168.x.41 \
netmask 255.255.255.0 \
mtu 1500 \
broadcast 192.168.x.255
This is only used when tap interfaces are involved, which is the case in my setup, but not in the setup macemoneta is showing. caesar68: do you also use tap interfaces?
I can reproduce the problem by just using that ifconfig command again.
When I list the IP-address-to-set as the last argument, instead, it works, i.e.
Code:
/system/bin/ifconfig myvpn \
netmask 255.255.255.0 \
mtu 1500 \
broadcast 192.168.x.255 \
192.168.x.41
A quick scanning of the openvpn manpage, does not suggest a way to override the ifconfig command that is used, but it does give an option --ifconfig-noexec which suppresses its calling.
Unfortuntely, when I just pack the is-working-after-the-interface-is-up ifconfig command into an up script with this option, it just gives me an error SIOCSIFNETMASK (Cannot assign requested address) - even if the same commandline works when I run it over an already upped interface... Probably because the interface then already had an IP address...
No problem, though, ifconfig is obsolete anyway, let us just use ip link and ip addr, which are fortunately available under Uruk.
So, caesar68, the clean solution would be to have
--script-security 2 on the openvpn commandline, e.g. via OPENVPN_CFG in /etc/uruk.conf/openvpn
in your myvpn.conf file:
Code:
ifconfig-noexec
up-delay
up-restart
up /etc/openvpn/myvpn-on-up
a corresponding script /etc/openvpn/myvpn-on-up, executable, with content
Code:
#! /system/bin/sh
ip link set $dev mtu $tun_mtu up
ip addr add $ifconfig_local/$ifconfig_netmask \
broadcast $ifconfig_broadcast \
dev $dev
Works For Me
Thanks for the explanation and the workaround, brian_o'fish. Why are you using tap though? Tap provides an Ethernet bridge, so you'll be transporting packets that really don't need to be sent to your Archos (reducing available bandwidth). Tun is layer 3 routed, so only traffic destined for either endpoint goes over the VPN connection.

That's what the server I'm using, is configured to do, as it provides transparant bridged LAN access via VPN, and that is what I want, as I am the admin of said LAN and VPN.
If the low level of broadcasts we have, ever increases or appears to be a problem to me, I'll set up an additional tun server, but for now it is simply not an issue.
Anyway, good hint in general!
Hi all!
Thanks a lot for your comments. Yes I am using tap. I would like to have access to my home network (storage etc.). Therefore I want to use the brigde functionality. And that works only when I changed the ifconfig manually afterwards. But the route is distroyed then and packages to the internet are not routed secure thru my home-network.
@ brian_o'fish: Thanks for the advise. I will try that the next days. In the moment I am happy to read, that I am not the only one with the problem (and maybe to stupid to use openvpn - but on the netbook it works).
I have never worked with tun. Maybe I could check, if that is also a workaround.
I will keep you informed, but I am on a trip the next days.
Thanks again!
*** Update ***:
I didn't work neither with tap nor with tun. Meanwhile I tried to run VPNC. I had some trouble, but it works now.

This mod take a couple of minutes to complete and allows for PEAP wifi connections. Requires root access and ADB knowledge.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ISSUES YOU CREATE WITH THIS. IT IS A ROUGH GUIDE AND WORKS FOR ME. DO AT OWN RISK.
Tutorial For Adding LEAP/PEAP Wifi
1. Open Command prompt window in Windows.
2. Go to your directory that you have Android SDK in.
3. Change directory to Tools. So for eg. C:\Android\Tools
4. Type in adb devices. You should see your device. If not install ADB driver. Google it.
5. Type in adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant .conf c:\wpa_supplicant.conf
6. This stores wpa_supplicant.conf on your C: drive.
7. Open file with wordpad.
8. Add the following to the files:
for PEAP add this code:
network={
ssid="Your SSID"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
identity="Your Username"
password="Your Password"
}
for LEAP use this:
network={
ssid="Your SSID"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
auth_alg=OPEN SHARED LEAP
eap=LEAP
identity="Your Identity"
password="Your Password"
}
9. Save the file.
10. Type push c:\wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant .conf
11. Now the important part. If you miss this your wifi will not work after reboot.
12. Type adb shell
13. Should get # prompt.
14. Type su.
15. Type cd /data/misc/wifi
16. Type chown 1010 wpa*
17. Type chgrp 1010 wpa*
18. Close command prompt window and enjoy LEAP/PEAP wifi.
What is the difference between the two?
A question that might help the unacknowledged
EAP and LANs
EAP originated with the dial-up PPP protocol in order to support protocols beyond PAP and CHAP. For use on packet networks, EAP Over LAN (EAPOL) was created. EAPOL added new message types and allowed an Ethernet header to be prefixed onto EAP messages so they could be transmitted via Ethernet. Following are various EAP methods used mostly in wireless networks, but also in wired networks. See 802.1X, WPA and 802.11i.
EAP-TLS (EAP-Transport Layer Security)
Uses the handshake protocol in TLS, not its encryption method. Client and server authenticate each other using digital certificates. Client generates a pre-master secret key by encrypting a random number with the server's public key and sends it to the server. Both client and server use the pre-master to generate the same secret key.
EAP-TTLS (EAP-Tunneled TLS)
Like EAP-TLS above except only the server has a certificate to authenticate itself to the client first. As in EAP-TLS, a secure connection (the "tunnel") is established with secret keys, but that connection is used to continue the authentication process by authenticating the client and possibly the server again using any EAP method or legacy method such as PAP and CHAP.
PEAP (Protected EAP)
Similar to EAP-TTLS above except it does not support legacy methods. It only moves EAP frames. Windows XP natively supports PEAP.
LEAP (Light EAP, Cisco LEAP)
From Cisco, first implementation of EAP and 802.1X for wireless networks. Uses preshared keys and MS-CHAP protocol to authenticate client and server to each other. Server generates and sends session key to access point. Client computes session key independently based on data received in the CHAP challenge.
EAP-FAST
(EAP-Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling)
Enhancement to LEAP from Cisco that provides an encrypted tunnel to distribute preshared keys known as "Protected Access Credential" (PAC) keys. PAC keys may be continuously refreshed to prevent dictionary attacks. EAP-FAST is defined in Cisco's Cisco Compatible Extensions (see CCX).
EAP-SIM (GSM Cellphones)
For GSM phones that switch between cellular and Wi-Fi networks, depending on which is in range. The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) smart card in the GSM phone (see GSM) contains the secret key used for challenge/response authentication and deriving session keys for encryption.

thanks
Thanks for the help clarifying that for peoples.... its finally great to be able to use the WiFi at school... would be nice to implement it automatically, I can't write the code.... but if anyone would like too it would really add to the community....
Maybe I'm misunderstanding this but i know when i try to use LEAP at school, it already has options and what not for it on my phone, none of this is necessary for me
I know with my school which is (PEAP) you couldn't input a username just a password! so if you are having troubles connecting to a LEAP or PEAP connection this is a way to workaround and get it working. If you can already connect don't worry about it! this is for those who cant connect and get crappy data in class! haha
Does this work with MS-CHAP ? How do I define it?
Thanks!
MS-CHAP already works out of the box. At least I can connect at work with PEAP, MS-CHAPv2. Could be a CM 5 thing though.
Thanks for posting this! while it did not directly solve my problem, it made me redouble my efforts to get on my company's wlan with my N1. I have tried this many times over the years with various phones including UIQ3, WM6 and never got anywhere. I always assumed that there was some sort of certificate or windows domain stuff going on.
So this morning I did a wireshark trace and put my laptops drivers into debug logging to find out how my laptop connects.
A bit of googling for the stuff I found enabled me to get a working supplicant.conf on the third attempt and I am amazed!
Appear to be using WPA2 Enterprise with EAPOL LEAP with CCMP encryption on Cisco access points.
Here is the network part of my wpa_supplicant.conf in case it helps anyone:
network={
ssid="SSID"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
auth_alg=SHARED LEAP
group=CCMP
eap=LEAP
identity="DOMAIN\User"
password="Password"
}

Doesn't work for me on stock rom.
What works for PEAP with MSCHAPv2 in my school is:
network={
ssid="<ssid>"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
identity="<userid>"
password="<password>"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=2
}
(Previously posted on my blog at http://zitseng.com/archives/2729)
It works, Thanks!
There's a way of doing that without root access:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1871
Step 16 17
when i type
16. Type chown 1010 wpa*
17. Type chgrp 1010 wpa*
i get the error:
"no such user '1010'"
"chgrp: not found"
what is it mean?
Is there anything I may have done wrong?
tanks
Doesn't work for me for some reason. Do you think having CM6 RC3 would make a difference? Not that I could see it doing so.
I've tried a few of the above suggestions but none work for me
The worst thing is it worked fine before I updated my Nexus One to FroYo!
my current settings for the uni are:
network={
ssid="UoN-secure"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
identity="username"
password="password"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}
Any help would be appreciated
The problem I am having is that it will not keep the Phase 2 auth - MSCHAPV2 setting when I set it up. Every time I go back into the ssid settings (modify network) it has reverted back to "none". However the information above was pulled from the phone so it obviously is storing the MSCHAPV2 setting, just doesn't seem to be using it!
actually cm6 rc3 should have support for Leap/PEAP i have been using it for a while without this hack.... what type of connection are you trying to connect too?
Hello,
I'm trying to connect to a Cisco VPN client by using VPN Connections on an Archos 70 IT 250 GB, that is rooted.
I always get a "Connection failed" message, after which the app crashes.
Did anyone succeed in getting VPN Connections working on Archos 70 IT ?

Hi,
I used to have the same error on my Galaxy S, when trying to create a VPN tunnel to my companies CISCO gateway.
The problem seems to relate to the missing tun.ko library.
I'm not sure if the Samsung Galaxy files will work for Archos, but you might want to adapt and try the following how-to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793712&highlight=tun.ko

I found a possible clue. After trying several free pptp vpn services and noticing that it seemed to resolve a url one time then just hang, I set up a vpn on my lan and tried the local coffee shop connection to access it. I found that if encryption was completely disabled on the lan vpn and unchecked on the 70 IT, it would connect and I could browse, check email, etc. As soon as I set the policy on the vpn server to enable any level of encryption it was back to the resolve 1 url and hang behavior. Of course an unencrypted vpn is about as worthless as t*ts on a bull but it's the only clue I've found. As a control, I tried an ip*d touch w/encryption on against the same vpn with all levels enabled and that worked.
If anybody else who's running a local vpn can duplicate and confirm this, it's a step in the right direction!
VPN Connections 0.99 (aka get-a-robot-vpnc) working on A101IT with urukdriod-0.6
I've managed to make get-a-robot-vpnc (aka VPN Connections 0.99) work on urukdroid0.6 on Archos 101 IT.
There are two issues with default vpnc.script, and one issue with output of 'ps' command needed by VPN Connections 0.99 GUI, to check is there a connected vpnc process.
Resolving vpnc.script issues:
1. Symbolic link is missing that links /bin/busybox (or /usr/local/bin/busysbox on urukdroid) to 'which' command (cd /usr/local/bin; ln -s busybox which)
2. Symbolic link is missing that links /bin/busybox (or /usr/local/bin/busysbox on urukdroid) to 'ip' command (cd /usr/local/bin; ln -s busybox ip)
$aur0n told me that this two commands/links will be included in urukdroid-0.7.
Resolving GUI 'ps' issue (a bit harder ):
VPN COnnections GUI do 'ps | grep 'vpnc$' to see is there active vpnc process (established connection), but output of 'ps' command(s) found on urukdroid is not what GUI expects, so it cannot find vpnc proccess even if it is running and VPN is established.
On urukdroid there is 2 versions of 'ps' command:
1st is /bin/ps which is symbolic link to /bin/busybox (very old version of busybox (1.7.2, I believe) and output of ps this command is not suitable for VPN Connections (GUI)
2nd is /usr/local/bin/ps which is native ps command, but its output is also not suitable for VPN Connections (GUI)
There is a (hidden ) 3rd 'ps' command in /usr/local/bin/busybox (that version of busybox is 1.17.2) - but also not suitable output for VPN Connections (GUI).
Experimenting a bit I've found that '/usr/local/bin/ps -A' gives an suitable output, so I:
1. renamed /usr/local/bin/ps to /usr/local/bin/ps.new
2. made a script /usr/local/bin/ps with:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
ps.new -A
exit $?
3. chown root:root /usr/local/bin/ps; chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/ps
After that, everything worked.
Hope this solves issues for some of you
P.S. Forgot to mention - urukdroid 0.7 will have its own vpnc service built-in.
Works in UD 1.5

Just wanted to say thanks! I'm using Urukdroid 1.5 and had the same issue. Used your trick and now VPNC connects to my companies VPN ^_^
This is a DEV thread.
Unfortunately can't post in DEV forums as i never wrote in this site.
I've been working on enabling USB to Ethernet dongle on our Transformers as i didn't see any successful attempt in this area.
For my experiments I use USB to ethernet dongle from DealExtreme: (Link deleted. Can't post links. Search for "SKU 34691")
This dongle is based on ASIX AX88772B chipset.
Linux Driver was downloaded from: (Link deleted. Can't post links. Google for the driver v4.1.0)
I've compiled the driver with latest Clemsyn kernel downloaded from his git: (Link deleted. Can't post links)
The driver compiles without errors to asix.ko file (attached)
After insmoding the driver into the kernel i connected the dongle to USB port on the keyboard dock and connected RJ45 cable to it from my router. The blue led turned on and started to blink!! (Never happened before!).
Encouraged by this development i've executed the following sequence in terminal:
Code:
ifconfig eth0 10.0.1.17 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.1.255
route add default gw 10.0.1.1
The commands executed without errors and i tried to ping my router
Code:
ping 10.0.1.1
and.. it WORKED!
Started pinging computers in my local LAN - everything WORKED!
Access to router web interface via browser - WORKS!
Here the happy story ends.
I couldn't manage to ping any IP addresses outside the local network.
I think i'm very close to make this work.
Any help will be appreciated.
Edit:
FULLY WORKS!!!
Need to add DNS configuration (i set to Google DNS server):
Code:
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
And that is it!
USB to Ethernet dongle fully works on Asus Transformer
Edit 2:
Not all applications work with wired connection.
Browser and Gmail work, but Skype does not.
Need to investigate further.
Good stuff! It would be nice to have the option to use a wired network in case you needed to! Great work!
dear Quiethinker~~
i have been searching for whole day and finally reach your post. good stuffs
it would be even better if you can share the procedures step by step, such as how to "insmod" ....
thank you very much~~

I'll try to explain the procedure step by step (a bit improved sequence since my first trails):
1. Get USB to Ethernet dongle from DealExtreme (SKU 34691) - Do not attach it yet.
2. Install terminal application on the Transformer (such as "Android Terminal Emulator")
3. Turn off the WIFI.
4. Extract axis.ko.zip to some location in the Transformer (for example root of the sdcard)
5. Open terminal application and execute the following commands in the command line:
Code:
su
insmod [PATH_TO_KO]/axis.ko
6. Attach USB to Ethernet dongle to USB port on the Transformer's dock and connect RJ45 network cable. (Blue led on the dongle should start blinking)
7. Execute the following commands in the command line:
Code:
/system/bin/dhcpdc eth0
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
8. Test that you have internet connection:
Code:
ping google.com
Currently there is lots of limitations with this solution:
- I compiled the KO module with clemsyn kernel v8b and checked only with this kernel.
- Android system doesn't recognize wired connection and therefore many apps think that there is no connection available
- When transformer going to power-down mode it disconnects the USB network. After waking up need to execute step 7 again.
I'm currently working on several directions in this area:
- Enabling support for more USB to Ethernet sticks within the kernel (custom kernel release is needed unless kernel devs will push the changes into their kernels)
- Enabling automatic configuration for wired network in android (Some scripting)
The achievement in this post is a proof of concept. I'm making a progress but very slowly due to very limited time. I hope more devs will pick this up.
Also attaching the sources for asix.ko driver so people can compile it with different available kernels
The drivers for ASIX AX88772B chipset are already in the kernel
I have one of these usb-eth dongles too and it works without the need for any extra drivers.
I simply run dhcpcd eth0 to pickup an ip address from dhcp and then setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8 for dns.
I have an EDIMAX EU-4207
Other dongles using this chipset include the WII adapter, the Apple dongle and the linksys/cisco USB200M or USB300M

Good to know that your kernel includes it!
(Checked your GITHUB, do your refer to CONFIG_USB_NET_AX8817X=y ?)
Till now i worked with Clemsyn-Blades kernel and this wasn't included (maybe need to switch kernels )
Now only need to find automatic way to configure eth0 on insert/wake-up and it will be usable for regular users.

Ah yes, Asus added support since 3.2. I think we can enable it via a service call in init.rc but eth0 doesn't play too well with wlan0 I've found.
proby a dumb question anyways
but has to be a rooted device doesn't it?

Shortly - yes
Ok, it works well with my USB Lan adapter (Browser, Market browsing, etc.), but if I want to download an app from the market it doesnt work (only over Bluetooth or Wifi).
Lines I used:
dhcpcd eth0
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
Is there a solution for the market download problem?
Would one or both of these adapters be supported?

Ok, it works well with my USB Lan adapter (Browser, Market browsing, etc.), but if I want to download an app from the market it doesnt work (only over Bluetooth or Wifi).
Lines I used:
dhcpcd eth0
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
Is there a solution for the market download problem?

Its a problem with honeycomb. Currently it doesn't support wired connections. We can trick it on "kernel level" but some applications use additional API to check for connectivity. Currently I don't know how to trick this API.

Thanks for the info. But I dont know why Asus integrated USB LAN drivers, without automatic loaders. That makes no sense. But,... ok, I am glad that the driver is inside

Maybe in some future honeycomb update this feature will be built-in.
I really hope so at least!
I was able to get my USB 2.0 NIC working without a module on Stock3.2 (rooted) and Prime! 1.8.4.
I found a script on here that I placed in /data/ for DHCP
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
netcfg eth0 dhcp
dhcpcd eth0
DNS1 = `getprop net.eth0.dns1`
DNS2 = `getprop net.eth0.dns2`
setprop net.dns1 $DNS1
setprop net.dns2 $DNS2
Here is the one for static.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
busybox ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.22
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
setprop net.dns2 8.8.4.4/

That's pretty cool. The Cisco-Linksys USB300M adapter appears to be using that same chipset, so I went ahead and ordered one. I should receive it sometime next week, at which time I'll report back if it works.
I'm working now
Running 3.2 with the latest build 8.5.9. It seems to have the needed driver built in corectly. I've then taken the following script and put it in /system/sbin (I called it wired) The apple USB to ethernet adapter is the one I'm using (cheapest available)
#!/system/bin/sh
ifconfig eth0
if [ $? -gt "0" ]; then
netcfg eth0
dhcpcd eth0
export DNS1=`getprop net.eth0.dns1`
export DNS2=`getprop net.eth0.dns2`
setprop net.dns1 $DNS1
setprop net.dns2 $DNS2
else
netcfg eth0 down
fi
If the device is not up $? will be larger than 0 (0 is success and if the device is down the command fails.) So the script brings up eth0. If eth0 is up $? equals 0 and the script brings the device down cleanly.
Now If I can just figure out how to turn this into an icon on the desktop I'll be all set

Great script!
Search for GScript app on the market. This is what you looking for

Just to update, the USB300M works fine as well.
I've been looking for this for a while finally I got it, this is what I did:
- Connect your android device to your linux PC
- Enable USB tethering
- On your linux box as root (I'm using Fedora 16)
Code:
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
ifconfig usb0 12.12.10.1
With this you will enabled internet sharing between network interfaces and assign an IP to the usb interface.
- Enable mobile data access (3G) on your android
- On your Android using adb or terminal emulator
Code:
ifconfig rmnet0 0.0.0.0
ifconfig usb0 12.12.10.2
route add default gw 12.12.10.1 dev usb0
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
The first line will disable the data traffic through your 3G connection so all the traffic wiil go through the USB
- Enjoy
All apps works because they see a vaild 3G connection!!!
WARNING: If during you are USB connected, the 3g connection is reset, the system will restore its IP and DNS so
the traffic will go through this interface you must reset again the IP to 0.0.0.0 and the dns to 8.8.8.8. Maybe
one of the devs here could help us to prevent this happened. You can always check the IP values of all interfaces by typing "netcfg"
Press Thanks if I help you
everytime,
bash: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward: Permission denied
yes i tried with sudo, same output.
using ubuntu12.04 64 bit. all other commands are fine,

In Ubuntu you can re-direct to files you own as the user calling sudo, such as files in your home directory, but not system files
so try this:
sudo bash -c 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward'
or you can edit /etc/sysctl.conf and then run sysctl -p
secondary problem
Thank you very much for your post, this is what I was looking for.
I have configured correctly, ubuntu 12.10 and android 2.3.7 (Huawei U8650) but there is a problem.
Only works a few seconds, the first moments. In the browser takes more time, but when I open "play store" internet is disconnected. It seems they check applications and stop working, it's strange. Configuration is successful because it works, but only a few seconds ...
Seems to prove that internet applications not from the 3g and crashes ...
I have broken the wireless on my huawei U8650 and this is the only way I can access the internet
Thanks in advance
PS: I'm Spanish, sorry for my bad English.

The MAC address is hard-coded on your network interface controller (NIC) and cannot be changed permanently with simple command line from your terminal nor in software level approach. However we can assign a temporary solution for your MAC, which will be reverted back to it's original state after Reboot/Power off .
Requirements :
- Rooted phone
- Busy box app from play store installed
- Terminal emulator from play store :
Know normally your card's interface should be eth0 ( older devices ) or in case of newer phones ( wlan0)
after granting super user permission in terminal ( Su) , type >> netcfg
Code:
busybox iplink show eth0
you may change it to wlan0 , if you are on this interface
Code:
busybox ifconfig eth0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
change the XX to your preference value ( i,e : 00:11:22:33:44:55)
Because of kernel design and absence of monitoring mode support for mac spoofing , this method won't work on protected networks ( ONLY open networks )
and if the lines above don't work for you , try to disable and enable your eth0:
Wifi is ON
su >
Code:
busybox ifconfig eth0 down
busybox ifconfig eth0 hw ether (address)
busybox ifconfig eth0 up

You are trying to access protected network , which comes with encryption ( WEP/WPA/WPA2 etc etc ) ? What error you are getting from Android OS ? Are you absolutely certain your MAC address is white listed inside the router/modem settings on open network protocol settings of course ?

Already explained about protected networks and the reason behind it in the first post . You need to set it to 'Open network' ( means no wpa/wpa2/wep etc,,etc) inside the router/modem you are seeking an access.
Maybe not so
I have tried several apps and every possible command in terminal (as root) and although all can successfully change the MAC address, the device is always unable to connect to an access point thereafter. This is a known issue, but unresolved and too frequently denied. I half suspect their are some "political" purposes for withholding the resolution; many have inquired about this, yet only receive pedantic or useless replies. I wonder if there is any correlation to the wifi chipset, or if it's a built-in Android limitation. I know my chipset is very difficult to identify ('demesg | grep wlan0' yields nothing familiar) and that it also seems incapable of monitor mode.
I have scoured many forums for the solution to this and found only a suggestion to change certain files, all which appear to vary between devices, etc.
What I'd like at this point, is and explanation if not a solution. Anyway, I think the OP may have been misunderstood, ergo my 'two cents'.
