Hello guys,
I've compiled the CIFS module for our X10 (stock kernel version for 2.3.3, that is 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 ).
Introduction
CIFS is for allowing to mount SAMBA/CIFS shares from Windows (mostly), so that they appear like a folder on the phone.
Specifically, you can watch movies on your X10 from a share, without first copying them to the phone. In fact you can mount any SAMBA share and do all operations with it.
There are two modules that do the job: cifs.ko (which is the main one) as well as nls_utf8.ko which just provides UTF-8 support for file/folder names within the shares.
Installation
Once you have unpacked the zip and extracted the two modules into the folder of your choice, the commands are these:
Code:
adb push "nls_utf8.ko" /sdcard/nls_utf8.ko
adb push "cifs.ko" /sdcard/cifs.ko
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/lib/modules
cp /sdcard/nls_utf8.ko .
cp /sdcard/cifs.ko .
insmod nls_utf8.ko
insmod cifs.ko
mkdir /sdcard/cifs
mount -o username=<yours>,password=<yours>,iocharset=utf8 -t cifs //<serverip>/<sharename> /sdcard/cifs
Now you can cd to your /sdcard/cifs and see the files shared there.
Observations
1. nls_utf8.ko is not mandatory and if your files don't have UTF-8 characters and only ascii, you can skip it IF you remove the isocharset=utf8 from the mount command above.
2. Music will stutter with all players I've tried. found an opinion that might be android lowlevel subsystem for reading mp3 files, and that they don't buffer enough - and given the latency over WIFI, this will create pauses / stuttering in the music. However, you can still copy the audio files, etc.
3. Movie playing works! I've tried RockPlayer for few minutes and didn't have an issue (seems it handles buffering very well) since it is software and thus they don't rely on some Android codec / etc.
4. Skip works! Again in Rock Player, you can skip in the movie and it takes a bit to skip there, but it does.
5. umount usually fails, since I assume, Android apps don't really exit and don't really free the resources. Once a file open, it doesn't let me un-mount saying that the resource / device is busy.

Cool.. Will try..

nice! i am gonna try this!
New toy I'll give this a go tonight and report back. Thanks!
Hi viulian,
Thanks for the module. Would you mind if I include it in the hotfix for my rom?

Absolutely no problem Z please do.
This module definetly requires an app to manage CIFS, mounting them with selected user/pass/path.
You can try cifs manager, its good.
Btw i thought the new sources weren't released yet.
I'm using old 2.1 sources and I could build these modules using Sony's blog post about how to compile kernels (with their CodeSourcery compiler) and a bit of Google foo.
Btw, I have another one ready, the cpufreq_interactive one which I'm creating a new thread now.
Later edit:
Although initially I read posts complaining about Sony's decision to keep the old 2.1 kernel (2.6.29) instead of the recommended (2.6.32) for GingerBread, it turned out that it was actually a smart move
Basically, the cifs module at least was much more difficult to port, due to the slow_work.ko module that needed to be compiled as well and inserted before.

Yes - if you handle copying the module to sdcard separately and then you become root in terminal, then it's the same.

When you start the terminal, you notice you have a $ sign displayed to the left of the command prompt. That means you do not have the rights to do most things, since $ is for standard (limited) user.
What you need is to type command
Code:
su
And then your prompt will change to the dash sign #.
That means now you have full control over the phone, and you can start typing the commands.
Please double check what you do, and that you typed correctly - otherwise, as root, you might render your phone useless. Do not attempt if you don't feel confident enough and that you know what you are doing.

How and what happened if upgrade from 0.0.1 to 0.0.2?
Just copy data.img and system.img replacing your current one in FreeX10 folder.
This will replace all your 0.0.1 data, be sure to back up first with Titanium Backup
WiFi is running and connected, but cannot browser
This problem seems to be occurring on selected few.. You can set static IP to your android.
Go to Settings -> Wireless ... -> WiFi, then press menu button. From there you can se static IP
Is there a possibility of Timescape and Mediascape for 2.2 Custom ROM
The answer is yes, its possible.
I managed to install Mediascape.apk into 2.2 Custom ROM, but cannot run.
The reason it cannot run is because UX is using a lot of things in Framework-res.apk, images, layout, styles, and etc which cannot be copied directly from SE 2.1 into 2.2 AOSP. It requires someone to properly put all values, resolving conflicts inside Framework-res.apk before the UX can run, which will take months or at least weeks if someone dedicated his or her day job for it. Then after that we still need to deal with external files. So in conclusion, while it still possible, i don't think anyone will do it because of the time demanding process.
I want to help devs solving bugs, i found one but i don't know what actually happend.
While usb connected, from command prompt, type
Code:
adb logcat > logcat.txt
This will output a lot of debugging info into logcat.txt file, later if you find bug, you take a look inside the file.
See anything error or info related to the bug, and post here.. When writing the logcat.txt output, but them inside
Code:

Nice work. THis is handy
As i posted in the Main thread!
I think some of the force closes, (mainly acore and google framework) and the fact that the market crashes, come down to importing a vcard!
I imported vcard, get many force closes, market stops working, I clean install and don't install the vcard. Everything functions fine.
I do believe this is the reason!
Greeet ~~!! but can u tell me the seloution of this proplem :

i have flashPlayer10.1 problem it,s to slow when i play on any website any solution what might be ?
Optware was originally developed as a distribution mechanism for software for the Open Source Linux project for the Linksys NSLU2 (a small low cost network storage device). That consumer storage device ran on Linux, and the community opened it up, but they needed a lightweight distribution mechanism for their lightweight devices.
Since 2004 Optware has been adopted by a variety of Linux communities and device developers including the webOS community working on the Palm Pre and Pixi, and developers for devices as diverse as Asus WL-500g,WL-HDD, WL-500gx, WL-500gP routers, the Synology DS-101 and DS-101g+ NAS devices.
At its core, Optware is a package manager to allow you to easly install and uninstall cross-compiled linux applications on your device over the internet. At this time, optware supports the automatic download and installation of over 1500 programs. (See the list at the end of the wiki article.)
Why should I use Optware?
Like the original slug, android devices lack a distribution mechanism to install Linux/command line tools programs and utilities. Many in the Android community who want or need to do command line processing on their device use a chroot of some sort (Debian seems popular) to get their distribution and package management tools. With Optware, it becomes possible to simply run whatever utility or program you want on the native underlying Linux.
Additionally, Optware For Android installs openSSH making it possible to access your Nook from any PC with SSH capability, and sets up an unprivileged username/password login system for the device at the command line. All in all then, since it can be installed with a single script, since it's lightweight, and since it's designed for small and embedded devices, Optware is a perfect fit for the Android community.
Optware for Nook is the first Optware for Android release by the Novaports team and is their gift to the Android community members who have helped them so much with information on Android devices.
What does it do?
The Optware bootstrap installed the IPKG package manager. It installs the optware Busybox. It installs openSSH and makes the ssh demon persistent. It creates an unprivileged user with a username and password you choose.
See Installation instructions and details at the Optware for Android page at Nookdevs.com
For completeness of licensing compliance, the source code for all optware package can be found at the following locations:
1) build scripts at svn.nslu2-linux.org in the /svnroot/optware/ area
2) tarballs at sources.nslu2-linux.org in the /sources area (this is a *large* directory)
To contribute code to Optware, see www . nslu2-linux . org in the /wiki/Optware/AddAPackageToOptware area

This works beautifully! Thank you!
Gonna try this and see if i can get samba to work.. a SMB mount over wifi would be awsome...
Many thanks!
I don't suppose there's a quick and easy way to completely remove optware?... not looking forward to culling through scripts and manually un-doing it all.....
adduser: not found
When it gets to the part in the install script to add the username of the unprivileged user, I enter a name, then it says: adduser: not found.
If it helps, I am using Rooted Stock 1.1.
Anyone get Optware to install on CM7 (newer nightly)
I am running CM7 #103 and would love to have optware installed.
But I get Fail if I try to use the method from Nookdevs
Tonight when I have more time I will look at the errors and see if I can tell what is up.
It looked like partially due to missing dir's for one (/tmp)

The market has your answer and it's free:

Am I the only one that wants Optware on CM7?
It goes fine on a manualnootered 1.2.0 NC But I prefer CM7 (And use the nightlies)
I would love to get this going on my NC as well. Running CM7 N121 w/ 6/30/2011 OC kernel. Was able to manually work past the tmp directory problem you mentioned, but I can't seem to execute the ipkg binary or installed. I've verified it indeed exists in the path I'm trying to execute it from, it has +x perms for user/ group/ other, but it always gives the error below:
/data/opt/bin/ipkg: not found
I've tried messing with bin directory and ipkg binary ownership, but no dice. If anything it should at least find it even if permissions aren't correct.
Looks like the contents of the binary reference ELF libraries which sounds like an issue attempting to execute in an Android environment. Going to see if I can chroot an environment that will work for it.

This is happening because it's looking for /lib/ld-linux.so.3, and not finding it. I worked around by
ln -s /data/opt/lib/ld-linux.so.3 /lib/ld-linux.so.3
I also had to make these links:
ln -s /data/opt /opt
ln -s /data/tmp /tmp
And then set this:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/lib
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin/:/opt/sbin
in my bash profile to get things to start working.
One problem is my symlinks seem to get erased every reboot. I worked around by re-creating them in my bash profile, but I wish I knew how to make them permanent. This may be a ROM specific thing - this was written for a rooted stock nook, and I'm on an Epic running SFR.
I do not have a ld-linux.so.3 file on my NC w/ CM7 125
I have many other errors that show up:
Downloading the latest ipkg-opt package from the Optware package feed:

Updating the Optware package database:

ERROR: Failed to update the local Optware package database
Any ideas?
The actual file it needs is /data/opt/lib/ld-linux.so.3 - you need to create a symlink in /lib in order to see it. But I think that file comes from the optware installer - if the installer is failing, you won't have it there either. It sounds like you may have bits of a previous install that failed, and it's preventing the install from running properly. Try looking at the log in /data/tmp for more info. After that, try rm -rf /data/tmp/* to clean up the old install and trying again.
Thank You for any pointers.
I deleted everything in /data/tmp first last attempt - like you suggested.
Same result
I have it down to only this error now when I run it (optware-bootstrap-0.0.1.shar):
Updating the Optware package database:
optware-bootstrap-0.0.1.shar: ipkg-opt: not found
ERROR: Failed to update the local Optware package database
ipkg-opt should be in /data/opt/bin. Check to see if it's there... if not, something went wrong in one of the previous steps - probably somewhere around "Downloading the latest ipkg-opt package from the Optware package feed". See if wget is actually downloading anything, where it's putting it, and what it's doing with it afterwards.
If it is there, try running it manually. If you see /data/opt/bin/ipkg or /data/opt/bin/ipkg-opt but it claims it's not there when you run it, it may be a library linking error. Mine was looking for /lib/ld-linux.so.3 but it was actually installed at /data/opt/lib/ld-linux.so.3. mount -o remount,rw followed by ln -s /data/opt/lib/ld-linux.so.3 /lib/ld-linux.so.3 fixed that. I also had to run
ln -s /data/opt /opt
ln -s /data/tmp /tmp
before things started working.
By the way:
ntfsprogs - NTFS filesystem libraries and utilities
Could that be of any use? At the moment, it's not possible to mount NTFS storage on the NC
i would love to know how you guys get to this point even. When i try to install the very fist line of the script is an error and then nothing at all happens .... something about not finding busybox or something of that nature.
So you guys are getting WAY farther than I've been able to.
Tkx Tonygoes.
It is there in /data/opt/bin but it reports /data/opt/bin/ipkg: not found
I cannot find a ld-linux.so.3 on my NC at all.
I did the other links et al fro your comments also
obsid:
Try post 12 above:
and I had some other suggestions from someone:
might try thses FIRST the script seems to do it but may not actually get it done.
mount -o remount,rw / /
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
you should also if tried before do this: rm -rf /data/tmp/

If my patch hosed ls on your phone, this should fix it. Sorry about that.

Great Work!
What is this?
Did you remove all color from bash, or is it just not doing ls in color by default?
I would recommend people use something like mintty or console2 as their terminal on Windows instead of a regular cmd anyway, for anyone who actually uses the terminal frequently. Well, so console2 gets the same stupid behavior as the standard cmd with escape codes in adb for some reason, but it works with bash color escape codes in general (I have them in my $PS1). Mintty does support escape codes in adb shell, and is generally pretty nice, but doesn't have tabs unfortunately. Just a tip for people.
Nice job for those who don't want to change their terminal, of course. I just feel that for power users mintty is a better solution.
It removes them from ls, which is which is the only place the problem will lie for most windows users. I require my busybox, as there are many versions out there, but mine is the latest, and I know it supports ls. My patch removes the ls binary from Android and replaces it with my own symlink.
As for those options, I will stick with my powershell, but thanks. A poweruser should be using Linux anyway (I do normally).
Ah, yeah, that's probably true. But why is the default ls with colors in Android anyway? I normally need to create an alias to set ls to ls --color=auto or something along those lines usually. Is it just not getting the terminal info properly? I'm just curious about this I guess.
I'm a weird person who uses Unix shells on Windows, I guess because I like games too much.
Its not. ls in itself is a binary, not a symlink. It is running through the bash shell. Bash, is what supports colors. By default Android does not run bash, but sh.
Oh huh, didn't realize Android used sh by default. Guess I never paid attention.
Do you drop busybox in /system/bin to install it? That is, if you aren't flashing it from cwm.
Hate to be the bringer of bad news, but something in this breaks WiFi. After installing it, I can no longer connect to my router, it just stalls at "Obtaining address". When I check the router, it's already assigned an address.
I reflashed DL09 cleanly, and it connects right away. I re-apply this fix, and WiFi stops working again.
I did say make a nandroid backup....right?
Anyway, you are correct. Patch has been removed until I can figure something else out.
I did say make a nandroid backup....right?
Anyway, you are correct. Patch has been removed until I can figure something else out. Please revert to an earlier nandroid.
First post updated with a better fix that disables color for bash, system wide. Thanks to enderst from irc for the help.
I'm sorry it took so long, I got lots of stuff to deal with. Good things are worth waiting for (i heard)
First off: You are responsible for any of your actions! Changes that are needed to boot Ubuntu on your folio will void your warranty!
Special Thanks goes to DerArtem for posting his Kernels, Weeds2000 for eMail support, topogigi for wifi hacking and last but not least the Ubuntu-Touch Team on IRC that made it possible for me to tweak the touchscreen driver.
However, the system you are about to create is not fully functional, there are still things missing (a working sound driver for example). Its nice to play with it anyway
Heres a quick walk-through:
We will flash a kernel to the toshiba folio tablet which makes it possible to boot from an sdcard or USB-stick (You have to choose one, we need at least 2GB, I'd recommend 4GB so you can install fancy stuff like OpenOffice etc.).
We will then create a root filesystem with rootstock, which will hold our Ubuntu system (similar to your hard drive-Ubuntu).
Finally, we have to tweak that filesystem and change passwords, copy wifi driver etc.
Then we're able to boot a beautiful Ubuntu.
Things you will need:
- A Computer running Linux (Debian / Ubuntu would be great. If you're not running Linux on your computer, running it on the folio would make absolutely no sense. Please don't ask, I don't know how to install it in Windows.)
- The files i added to this post
- A SD-Card, 2-4 GB should be fine.
- optional: A second SD-card, 128MB would be enough (for flashing)
- A USB hub (If you want to boot from USB AND use a keyboard.
- Some time... =)
The first thing you should do is flash one of the update.zip files; choose update-sdmmc.zip (this will boot your folio from sdcard) or update-usb.zip (this will boot from a usb pen drive), open it and unpack the content to a sdcard (This has to be a SDcard, we're gonna flash our device from there.)
Backup all your data on your folio (I'm serious! It'll be gone!) and turn it off.
Put the SDcard in its slot and turn the folio back on. Press + hold both power and volume up.
Follow instructions to do a system update (If you've never done this before you shouldn't start now =) )
When it reboots, your folio will show some funny black and white linux text stuff and hang somewhere. Congratulations! You just bricked your tablet. Now lets see how we can fix it... Turn it off (Keep power pressed for about 5 seconds) and take out the sdcard, put it in your PC.
It's getting messy now, so grab a beer and let's go:
Open a Terminal on your linux computer.
Code:
#echo "Hello world!"
If your console says "Hello World" you got it. Awesome! =)
Code:
#sudo apt-get install rootstock gparted
This will install rootstock, the tool we're gonna need to create our filesystem, as well as gparted, a tool for partitioning our flash drive. You can also install rootstock-gtk, the graphical version. Try it if you like:
Code:
#sudo apt-get install rootstock-gtk
I heard that ubuntu-netbook won't work because there are drivers missing, would somebody try that and report please?
If your beer is already empty when this is done, you need a faster computer. Tell your wife the guys at xda-developers told you so
Back to the terminal:
Code:
#sudo rootstock -f MyCoolHostName -l myCoolUserName -p myCoolPassword --seed xubuntu-desktop -i 2G --notarball
This will create our filesystem with a user called "myCoolUserName" and (theoretically) his password "myCoolPassword" and install a basic xubuntu-desktop. I had to change the password manually because it didn't work this way... We'll do that later.
Rootstock will download lots of packages (You could also set it up with "--seed ubuntu-desktop", then youll download even more packages or "--seed ubuntu-minimal" or kubuntu... I still didnt find a list of seeds online :-/
The creating will take quite some time, get another beer.
When this is done, you'll get a file like this : "qemu-armel-201104112120.img". We will now mount this image: (make sure the directory /mnt/ does exist and is empty:
Code:
#ls -la /mnt )
Code:
#sudo su
(its simpler to be root for now)
Code:
#mount -o loop qemu-armel-201104112120.img /mnt/
(You are aware that your filename is different, are you? Try this:
Code:
# mount -o loop qemu-armel-*TAB*
and your terminal will automatically fill in your filename. Awesome linux, huh? =)
)
Code:
#cd /mnt/etc/
#mv fstab fstab.bak
#echo "proc /proc proc defaults 0 0" > fstab
#echo "dev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0" >> fstab
Note that the first time we create a file called fstab (echo asdf > fstab), then we add one line to this file (echo asdfasdf >> fstab)
Now we need to copy our wifi-driver over. Remember I told you to write down the directory you put them in? =)
Code:
#cp /home/YourUserName/Desktop/FolioStuff/firmware /mnt/lib/firmware
We will now do something stupid: We chroot into our arm-based system from an intel-system. But since we're only changing passwords, we should be OK.
Code:
#cd /
#chroot /mnt/
#passwd myCoolUserName
#passwd
#exit
That's it, we're out of the chroot.
It's now time to prepare the SDcard (The steps are the same for a USB Flash drive, I think you'll figure them out.)
Find out how your SDcard can be accessed (You should still be root):
Code:
# fdisk -l
In my card reader, it's "/dev/mmcblk0", it could also be "/dev/sdb1" in your computer.
Now there are two possibilities:
1. You know what youre doing. Then it's easy: You wipe the only partition (or, if there are more than one, the first partition) on your sdcard and format it with ext3:
Code:
#mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1
Note: The device is called /dev/mmcblk0, the partition itself /dev/mmcblk0p1 (Partition 1)
2. You are not sure about this. No problem, start gparted: (as root!)
Code:
#gparted
In the upper right corner, select your flash drive, delete all partitions and create one formatted with ext3. Close gparted.
Mount your freshly created partition somewhere (i chose /mnt2/):
Code:
#mkdir /mnt2/
Code:
#mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt2
We can now copy our filesystem over. Make sure you use exactly the same flags (rfp for recursive, force, preserve (attributes))
Code:
#cp -rfp /mnt/* /mnt2/
OK, that could work. Unmount the sdcard:
Code:
#umount /mnt2/
Put it in your folio and cross your fingers.
Wifi drivers will be up soon...
It's recommend to add build-essentials to your rootstock image too..
Because then you can easily build the wireless lan drivers on your devices..
Maybe I'll post a howto this afternoon!
Is this Ubuntu really usable (for daily work) with the folio 100 (touch, response speed, ecc.)?
Thanks.
Yup, it's usable for everyday work. It's quite fast on the Folio 100, I've been pretty impressed when I tested it a few weeks ago.
Thanks ph84
It seems most difficult than expected but, great job !
Only i have 1 question, bricking the tablet sounds dangerous... is possible break out the tablet and get a rock?
Thanksss!!!!!
if ubuntu is installed on sd, does that mean that we can dual boot foliomod from nand and ubuntu from sd/usb?
Hm... I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and I'm getting this error at the end of the rootfs creation :

Do you have any idea where I can find the log?
And this procedure will build in the tablet a dual boot? Or dualboot is another procedure?
what is the *.rar????
No it's for singleboot only...
You can only start Ubuntu installed on SD-Card/USB-Stick with this procedure...
I don't know wether the boot-partition is locked when you are booting ubuntu/android..
If not it should be possible to build some applications to flash the boot-partition on the running system to change from ubuntu to android

Just try rootstock without the parameters on --seed..
Maybe it will work..
You wont have a Desktop Enviroment like Gnome or something but you wont need that for installing the wireless drivers...
And after installing wireless drivers you can install ubuntu-desktop or something with apt-get!
Ok, I have been looking at rootstock, and if you install rootstock-gtk and than click on tasksel there is a whole list of seeds to chose from. I Think im going to try build the netbook build.
On a side note:
We will now do something stupid: We chroot into our arm-based system from an intel-system. But since we're only changing passwords, we should be OK

with chroot your only changing the root of your file system, your not running anything from there.
But its its in no way a complaint to your awesome guide! Thanks and keep up the good work!

Thats right but when you change your root shell to the rootstock-fs you can also use sudo apt-get update/install and install it into the rootfs!

Download it again. I've just uploaded rebuilt modules and it worked on KE7 kernel.
Working for me.
Thanks
Just a quick question because I failed with it: did you do any config other than enabling cifs?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Now "insmod cifs.ko" command has been accepted but "insmod slow-work.ko" tell me that that module has been inserited.
If the actual module is the same of yesterday there are no problem because yesterday I inserited it, otherwise I need the command for to remove the old module.
Let's go for try this hack!!! Thanks!!!
The new version is working for me on stock KE2 (now Mount Manager isn't working with the Galaxy S II, but that's a different story -> CifsManager works fine). Thanks!
May I ask what was changed in the latest version to make it work?
Grrrr!!!! I've installed Astro and his SMB module but, when I click on wifi button in the program, Astro crashes.
On Galaxy S I had the same problem.
Is there another program for to try this cifs.ko with pc?
Question 2: With this hack is possible to stream videos from pc to SGS2, viceversa, or both the directions? And It's the same for http/ftp connections?

You don't need the SMB module - that's the whole point of the cifs module, so you can mount your shares within the phone's file system. Try CifsManager from the market, it will mount your shares to /mnt/cifs/<share> by default so you can access it with any file manager, and yes, any video player. It can also load the modules - put in the following to load both (my modules are in /sdcard/):
Code:
slow-work.ko;insmod /sdcard/cifs.ko
I've used Android Terminal and Cifs Manager to get this working. And really works!
Can we increase the read ahead buffer for cifs, does such a thing even exists? I need this because i've tried to play a 480p avi with mobo player and it was choppy because of constant buffering.
Thank you.
This is what i've used with Android Terminal after i've extracted the contents of cifs-for-GT-I9100.zip (from first post) to the root of my internal sdcard (/mnt/sdcard):

Should not be necessary, AFAIK the kernel has this built in. You do need to use the mount option 'iocharset=utf8' though.

I am root and using stock KE7 kernel. Once I use this option in CifsManager, it reports segmentation fault error. Without such option, I can mount ok but with garbage characters for those Chinese named folder.
edit: you are right. It's built-in and I can mount properly with CLI. Probably something wrong with CifsManager. Someone already report this issue to the developer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13480264&postcount=351)

This is all really simple(requires root) - download the cifs. ko and slow-work.ko files and put them on your sdcard. Then just download "terminal emulator" from the market and "cifs manager". Now open up the terminal and input the following:
$su
# insmod /mnt/sdcard/slow-work.ko
# insmod /mnt/sdcard/cifs.ko
(remember to click "Allow" at the root privlidges popup)
Then open cifs manager and click "Add new share.." and input the ip adress and folder for your share and voila you're done! Shouldn't take you more than a minute or so!
Note: I got an input/output error when I tried mounting a shared folder on an account without a password(Windows 7 64-bit).

Copy the two files to the sdcard and use cifsmanager from the Android market. Add the line "/mnt/sdcard/slow-work.ko:/mnt/sdcard/cifs.ko" to the advanced settings. Activate the "load per insmod " and the load on start options.

Thought is it me or streaming files is laggy on the other hand plex works great, odd :/ Also on the same network my XOOM streams just fine via cifs itself.

The only solution for the lag I found so far is using the rock player in software mode.
