Is there anyway to get to function. I saw a package for RC6 and it said the "gzip magic not working" I got this problem before but that was because the file was having ".gz" appended. This is not an issue this time around.

root@openwrt=:~# ipkg install http://riot.org/seb/smbfs_0.0_mipsel.ipk
Downloading http://riot.org/seb/smbfs_0.0_mipsel.ipk
ipkg: invalid gzip magic

Are there any ports of smbmount for Kamikaze? I can't get any of the cifs options to mount my share.

I always get a really generic 

mount -t cifs //<address>/<share> /mnt/<dir> -o unc=\\\\<address>\\<share>,ip=<address>,user=<user>,pass=<pass>,dom=<domain>
mount: mounting //<address>/<share> on /mnt/<dir> failed

I finally got a Win2K share mounted on Kamikaze 7.09 (Broadcom 2.4 kernel).  To make a long story short:

ipkg install kmod-fs-cifs
insmod cifs
ipkg install cifsmount
mkdir /mnt/mount_point
mount.cifs \\\\<address>\\<share> /mnt/mount_point -o user=<user>,pass=<pass>,dom=<domain>

I gave up on that, but got nfs working thankfully. There's about 10 different ways to form the connectiong string, but only on in OpenWRT works.

this works for me - tested on both linux samba servers and WinnXP:

mount.cifs //$server/$share /tmp/mnt/$server/$share -o ip=$target,user=$user,pass=$passwd,dom=$dom

Yan: Thanks, that works great here.  Much better than the hokey \\\\ stuff.

Any chance someone can test that with Vista?  I've tested with Samba 3.x and XP sp2 but I don't have vista available (and I don't know anyone who does...)

here's the whole automount script (works with samba3, at http://www.seiner.com/samba3.tar.bz2 )

You need to build a credentials file:

/etc/credentials

# servername="domain/user%passwd"
# servername_share="domain/user%passwd"

scan:

#!/bin/sh

. /etc/credentials

Hi there,
did anyone succeed getting mounted a cifs share with kernel 2.4.32?
I´ve Fonera, with Original Firmware and FreeWLAN Addons installed. It is impossible to me, upgrading kernel because I want to leave FON functionality up and running.

I tried the code above but got the following:

root@OpenWrt:~# insmod cifs
insmod: A module named cifs already exists
root@OpenWrt:~#

The ipkg install ... went fine for me. Also (of course) the "mkdir /mnt/mount_point"
But: 

 root@OpenWrt:~# mount.cifs \\\\<ip.of.my.svr>\\<share> /mnt/mount_point -o user="",pass="",dom=<workgroup>
mount error: mount point /mnt/mount_point is not a directory
root@OpenWrt:~#

(My share is not password protected for this test.)
Im sure, /mnt/mount_point" is a directory but why do I get this error?
What can I do next to get it go?
(I also tried the HowTo... no success.)

Hi,

Running very well on Fornera+ with kernel 2.6.19.2

Try this perhaps:

mount -t cifs //ip_share/share_name /mnt/mount_point -o user=myname,passwd=my_pass

I think password is mandatory, not sure.
I'm running with this parameter at each boot, and just after mounting  swapfile installed on share.

Don't work for me too, this is normal.
You MUST invoke username existing on your computer ! at least admin account.
This is a WinNT/XP restriction.

I create a user on my XP : fonera, with password fonera.
It's running.

Thought about that, too. But as my share is on a NAS that only makes passwords possible, got stuck there. Within WindowsXP I am only asked to enter password, username is grey (can´t change) and set to "\\<ip.of.my.svr>\Gast".
I´ll try this with a WinXP share folder...

No, it does not work for me.
Btw, I think Fonera+ and Fonera cannot be compared, because standard Fonera uses the old kernel version 2.4.32.
Is there s.th. else I could try?

Yes ChrisPHL,
perhaps the different kernel version 2.4 and 2.6

I'll try tomorrow or tuesday on classic Fonera.

Hi ChrisPHL

Just tried now with my new unpacked Fonera2100 - 0.7.2r2

Installed package kmod-fs-cifs-2.4.32 from http://fon.rogue.be/lafonera/ , no more.

Command line is very long, better to write a little script ;-)

It's a long time ago but I wanted to try again this weekend and yeah, it works! Now I'll share my solution here.
I used exactly what Lama Bleu does but left out dom-option and before I had to execute this:

echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled

This will be part of FreeWLAN Addons soon.

The discussion might have continued from here.
