Hi, I am currently running Scoot CyanogenMod 6.1.2 together with his recommended 2.6.32.9 kernel. Its working fine but I was wondering if anyone knows how to add cifs support. I know I must add cifs.ko and slow-work.ko modules but I can't seem to find the ones I need and I also need to know how to add them to the kernel.
Thanks for your help

Support has to be built into the Kernel from source, either as modules (as what you said above), or integrated into the Kernel itself (no need for the modules)
I'm running the latest Stock Gingerbread ROM, is there a way to add CIFS support? I get the impression from what I've read that I may have to go back to Froyo if I want CIFS support because the only kernels I see that support CIFS are Froyo kernels. Am I getting that right or is there a way to add it to my kernel?
Thanks,

Yes, you will have to wait until HTC releases their Gingerbread kernel source before any custom kernels can be made.
Go bug them on facebook, twitter, e-mail, etc.
I'm not trying to rush any projects, just a bump of this thread because it appears the kernel has been open sourced (finally!). That and the fact I do not know anything about cooking kernels so I am at the whim of the devs.. haha
Can't wait to try mounting my home NAS to my phone!
I am about to test this on the aosp rom
i've compiled with the latest kernel source it should work in any stock 4.0.3 kernel

I have CIFS+UTF-8 enabled by default on all of my kernels if you want to try...
this module is for anyone who does not want to run a custom kernel
it is built off the latest source released by google for ics 4.0.3 on the gnexus
but i'll give your kernel a go for fun
Don't forget that to load/insert a module, one needs root access.

Don't you need the slow-work.ko compiled for 4.0.3 as well, to make things like CIFSManager work?

Will this trash battery life? If I remember correctly, Franco removed it from his kernal because it hosed the battery.

Yes!
Hope to have nls_utf8.ko to support any non-english char as well!
I've never had an issue with cifs killing battery life...
also note, franco compiled the cifs functionality INTO the kernel not as a loadable module
you can simply rmmod cifs to remove it from the kernel.
im not sure how he determined cifs was the culprit it seems very strange.
What is the practical application for this? I'm not hating on it, just curious what people are using this for. Can you mount SMB/CIFS shares in the file system this way?
yes
this module allows you to cifs/smb mount shares on your phone
This module won't work. It has to be built against the kernel to get the same magic number. Try and insmod it on i.e. Franco, and do a dmesg.

It only works with the stock aosp kernel not with fanco kernel or any other custom kernel ofcourse.....
Is there anywhere that I could get a 4.0.2 version of cifs.ko?
Has anyone gotten CIFS to work on ICS? Or is that something
That requires kernel source?
Im going to guess this does require kernel source, as my Xoom supports CIFS and we have that source.
You can try to ask Aeroevan though.
Anyone built the cifs.ko and md4.ko kernel modules needed to mount cifs shares on a new Nexus 7 running the stock kernel? (Or by some miracle does the stock kernel already have support for them?)

Check my link to the same topic. I couldn't get it to work on stock. I can't wait till this is figured out.

Mine already has support so you can try it, but iirc from the N4 forums there's a patch for android 4.2+ for cifs. I need to go back and look but the kernel itself already has cifs
