Is somebody know how to mount a windows share on wrt54gs to extend capacity like in dd-wrt firmware?
In dd-wrt firmware we can find smbmount and smbmnt.
I search but I just find kmod-smbfs ipkg but doesn't work and an other name samba_3.0.10_mipsel.ipk but is to big!
thx

Use the packages 'kmod-cifs' and 'cifsmount' from my repository at http://nbd.vd-s.ath.cx/openwrt/packages
CIFS is the newer protocol that replaces SMB.

You have to be running experimental to get this working, yeah?

Yes the kmod-cifs is a 2.4.29 kernel module, which is provided by the experimental version. Earlier kernel such as 2.4.20 did not have CIFS support, just SMBfs

thx it work fine now.
I install ipkg "kmod-cifs" and "cifsmount" then I do :

root@OpenWrt:~# mkdir /tmp/smbmount
root@OpenWrt:~# insmod cifs
root@OpenWrt:~# mount.cifs //myip/myshare /tmp/smbmount -o user=mywindowslogin

And now I can see my windows share in /tmp/smbmount

thank you for your help smile
