If so, please let me know what I need to do?
I have cifs.ko in system/lib/modules but the app has not been working since 3.2 update.
Just answering myself in case someone has the same question.
it seems multiple module loading is not working right in the CIFSmanager.
i needed to load cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko together before mounting my network drives
before Cifsmanager can handle this automatically, but now on honeycomb 3.2, it seems nls_utf8.ko is not getting load
after I loaded that file manually via terminal, all network drives can be mounted.
Could you share the steps?
Thanks.

share the steps to get nls_utf8.ko loaded?
cifsmanager still seems to load cifs.ko fine automatically.
to load nls_utf8.ko before mounting any network drives:
1. Open up a terminal app
2. type: su root (then hit enter)
3. type: insmod /system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko
You don't need to do this if you don't have foreign characters in the files on your network drives (cifs.ko by itself will do)

Someone needs to port this for our LG Optimus One P500.
We all know that Adhoc doesn't work on Android. I've also seen a few thread recommending the use of alternative software on the PC. But one must understand that these software do not support all WiFi adapters and/or need specific OS in order to operate.
If one of our dev can port or make a fresh one, we could vote to make it a "Sticky".
I request you comment your opinion about this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download the "wpa_supplicant" from the link below and replace it with the one in your rom. It should work.

Connectify requires Win7, I'm running WinXP. Also, connectify does not support all adapters.
You can checkout the list of adapters which supports connectify:
http://support.connectify.me/home?page=2
Also, was referring to Ad-Hoc, not "Access Point".
Maybe this can help you as it is xp compatible.

Will definitely give it a try . Anyway, about the "G3 AdHoc Wifi Thread" by "jinxskore", it supports even old onboard laptop adapters which is why we definitely need this. You don't need to download any additional application/software....it will detect the AdHoc like an access point which is absolutely cool. Google could have added that with their updates but God knows why not.
I still think one of our dev should make one. I would if I could but I just started using android a month back and rooted yesterday.

Thanks a ton. Before I proceed, is it possible to just copy it through "Root Explorer" instead of flashing it? This is because I'm on stock 2.2.2 rooted and planning to stick with it for a while.
Also, is there a post dedicated to this particular "supplicant"? Would be really handy if there is one. If not, you could make a sticky
Okay, replaced the wpa_supplicant using "Root Explorer" and YES I can confirm it is working. Thanks a ton.

Here, I was referring to "PC-to-Phone" wireless connection which allows internet sharing from the PC to the Phone (not Phone-to-PC) without using any particular OS (eg. Win7) or PC Software (eg. Connectify).
Take a look at the link in the original thread and you'll get the idea of what the post is all about.

problem
so i am able to see the adhoc network i have at home, but now my issue is i am apparently unable to connect to said network. i click connect and it just dismisses the prompt, but with no change to my connection state. ive rebooted the phone many times, disabled data to ensure nothing is coming from 3g, and tried multiple times, so now im at a loss. im also unaware if this has affected my ability to connect to regular networks as i have none available to test right now. any help would be great tho, im still learning my way around adb but these are the commands i used.
adb remount
adb push system/bin/wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
and i was instructed to use this as well but it came with an error
adb shell chown system.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
so i tried again with that chown command after a restart and it went through, and now it still sees the adhoc network, but once i try to connect it just adds it to the bottom of the list saying out of range, and i try again with no results..

Google it my friend.
I have a Vista machine.
1) First of all I enabled sharing of LAN card
2) Wifi & LAN were not getting enabled at same time (LAN was given auto precedence), issue was resolved by disabling switching of LAN/WLAN in BIOS
3) Installed Connectify
4) configured it to share my LAN connection over WIFI
Simple!

i have attached the edify ready zip of wpa adhoc
and if u need to convert amend script to edify use the other attachment found via googling

Now whenever i make ad hoc from my lappy the option of 'share your internet connection' is not present at all!
My phone is a LG p500 rooted, android 2.3.3 original LG ROM, and my sdcard is partioned, I've not updated the kernel yet... I have used ES File Explorer since Root Explorer is now paid and I have no credit card.
I've tried a wpa_supplicant from another forum and now my android just keeps rebooting.
I set the airplane mode and could use ES File Explorer again to restore original file, but, anyway, my phone just works in 3G networks... whenever I turn on the wifi, the phone reboots....
What exactly is this wpa_supplicant, what it does? in linux terms?
Anyway, I'm gonna give a try in this one in this thread...
---------
Update:
Meanwhile, i found out why my original wpa_supplicant was not working... it seems it is not a file, as i was wondering, it is a program... and when i gave it permissions to override, i set wr-wr-wr... but as a program, it must have the EXECUTION permission: wrx-wrx-wrx ... now my wi-fi is working again... but, still, not detecting ad-hoc ...
anyway, i can try again with differente version i backed up my original, and now i know how to fix it...
in case of success, i post here!
---------
Update:
ad-hoc now working! \o/
there are many threads about this subject, so, to help others noobs like me, some notes:
1) root your phone
2) download ES File Explorer on market. it's a free (and very good) alternative to Root Explorer
3) its a good idea to turn off wifi now. better, set airplane mode.
4) in the configs of ES File Explorer, if your phone is rooted, there is an option to mount the /system directory with permissions to write/read and another option to see hidden files. check them on.
5) now, you should navigate to /system/bin/wpa_supplicant and save a copy of this file in a secure location.
6) back to system/bin/wpa_supplicant, press long and in its properties, you can change the permissions of the file to rwx-rwx-rwx
7) now you can copy the wpa_supplicant you found in this forum, to that location, and override the original (dont worry, if you have a backup, its reversible)
8) again, check the permissions of the new wpa_supplicant. it must be rwx-rwx-rwx too. (it's a program, the "x" is needed to execute)
9) that all. it now should work. ad-hoc networks are marked with a (*)... in my case, worked perfectly. My phone is a LG P500 android 2.3.3 original rom.
10) in case of any errors, just try another version of wpa_supplicant, there are some versions here. or, just restore your original wpa_supplicant. remember the permissions.
11) if you have the android sdk in your pc, you can run adb shell wpa_supplicant -v and find out your version... v5 or v6 ... in this forum there are modified wpa_supplicant in versions 5 and 6 ... use the correct according to your rom...

I'm using danalo1979's all in one EP4D posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365376
Currently using the debloated version, but have also used bloated. Either way, it uses the 4.0.0 version of IMoseyON's kernel.
Is it possible to add a CIFS module or something so that I can use CIFSManager and mount a share from my home server? I realize it'd only really work when at home on the local network, but it would still be quite useful.
Thanks.
Yes. If you can get VPN working, which currently is nearly completey worthless on the Charge (it won't pass VPN traffic even on EP4D) then CIFS would be completely sick as hell no matter where you werre.
Anyways, here is how I do it it. There are other ways to do this. This particular way is cool because it allows a simple way to restore CIFS's settings when you change ROMs or wipe, etc.
This is assuming you are using IMO 4.0 kernel and that you have root.
Have fun! Let me know if you have success or need help.
1. Go to Terminal Emulator and type "su", then "cifs enable"
2. Install Busybox 1.18.2
3. Copy cifs.ko and slow-work.ko modules into a folder called "cifs" on the SD card (these can be put anywhere, I just prefer the SD card because its fast and easy)
4. Install CIFS Manager
5. In CIFS Manager settings, check "Loads cifs module" and "Load via Insmod" checkboxes
6. In CIFS Manager settings, type "/sdcard/cifs/slow-work.ko:/sdcard/cifs/cifs.ko" into the the "Path to cifs.ko[:<modpath>]*" field.
7. In CIFS Manager, create a new share and enter the fields- example with computer IP address of 192.168.1.100 with network share called "share" and computer username and password "user" and "password" respectively.:
Share Path:
192.168.1.100/share
Mount Point:
/mnt/sdcard/convert
Username:
user
Password:
password
8. Save Share and restart phone
9. In CIFS Manager, click on a share to mount it
10. Profit!
Note that there is a module in /system/modules called bcm4329.ko that Imoseyon added to the kernel. I don't actually recall where I got my cifs.ko and slow-work.ko modules, but they were advertised for Froyo, possibly for the Galaxy S phone. I would be happy to provide the files if anyone is interested.
Note that the slow-work.ko module likely must be typed into the field first in Step 6.
Major cool. Thanks.
I'm searching for the cifs.ko and slow-work.ko modules now. When I find versions that work I'll go ahead and post them here. However, since you already have working versions it'd be great if you went ahead and posted them in case I can't find ones that work.
Actually, I just turned used the "CIFS enable" command as SU in terminal emulator and I'm now able to use CIFS Manager to mount stuff. I'm now trying to get Mount Manager to work as it appears to be able to automatically mount and unmount when you connect to a wireless network.
As you say, a working VPN solution would tie all this up in a nice bow....
Thanks again.
Interesting, I'm curious how you got it to mount without the modules. I recall getting "No Such Device" when mounting indicating the the kernel doesn't support it unless I point to the slow-work.ko and cifs.ko modules.
Can you describe what you did you get it working without using the modules?
Thanks

By the way, PPTP works fine on ICS. I tested it on the Galaxy Nexus. I don't know about CIFS support on the Galaxy Nexus though.
Absolutely nothing.
I'm using danalo1979's easy all in one odin. I simply opened a terminal emulator, typed SU and then typed "CIFS enable". Upon a reboot I was able to access the share using CIFSManger. Still haven't messed with Mount Manager to automate the remounts.
I have an hfs+ formatted external hard drive that i would really like to directly connect to my transformer, rather than going through my macbook.
*Full disclosure-- i am brand new to android,have only had my tf101 for a month but i love it and i am learning as much as i can.*
I have a tf101 with dock, and currently have installed revolver 4 with the testy meh overclock to 1.5 ghz. Its working like a charm so far!
I saw this thread post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517949
On the hfs/etc... modules, downloaded the hfsplus module and tried to insmod it with no avail.
I transferred the hfsplus.ko file to the modules folder, downloaded terminal emulator and then typed in: "insmod /system/lib/modules/hfsplus.ko"
And it simply said the process failed. Did i do anything wrong?or is this even possible?
Is there any way to install a module for hfs+, on revolver, any other custom rom or simply stock? I like revolver a lot but ill go to another rom if supports hfs+.
Again, i dont know much about android but im trying!
Thanks for the help!
I managed to get the module for hfs+ installed, and it shows up under "lsmod" when i type it into terminal emulator.
But the hd still won't mount... anybody here experienced with how to mount it manually in terminal?
Just got my A700 and it appears the kernel is not CIFS-compatible. I understand there are modules which can be used with CIFS Manager to make it work with non-compatible kernels. Does anybody know if one exists that will work with the A700?
Funny timing, I was researching this last night! I ran out of time, but essentially if you grab the kernel source, you should be able to compile the needed module, which we can then load.
I'll update this post later this morning when I dig up that URL.
--
Here are the two sources that I was referring to:
http://facti.net/drupal/node/151
http://facti.net/drupal/node/150
These articles were written for the TF101, but with the A700 kernel source available (go to Acer's Support site), there's no reason anyone cannot do this as well.
I'm going to try and find some time tonight, but we'll see.
Is this something that requires recompiling the whole kernel, or can you load the module into CIFS manager separately? If you manage to compile the module, can you post it here?

If I'm reading/researching everything correctly, all we need is a cifo.ko module from our kernel source. You should not have to recompile and install a completely new kernel.
Work is really busy today, but I've already downloaded the kernel source to a machine at home. Hoping to get time tonight to get it set up and run some tests. I'll post updates here for sure.
Thank you. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate it.
Alright, please try this file.
I cannot test myself, since I have not yet rooted (another topic entirely). Please let me know if this works for you.
No joy. Stuck the file where it wanted it, but I'm still getting "no such device".

You're rooted, right?
Can you execute the following command, to "force" the module to be loaded?
insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
You can use either ADB SHELL or Terminal Emulator. Be sure you're root when you do this too (sorry, not sure what your current knowledge level is).
Thx for your effort. Unfortunately i get the following error:
# insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/cifs.ko' failed (Exec format error)

Thank you for posting this. I think I might know what I goofed. Hopefully will get another one compiled and posted tonight.
when you compile the modules are they tablet specific? i tried the cifs.ko and md4.ko from the a500 thread in my a510, and they would load up fine with insmod, but when i used cifsmanager to mount a windows share, or tried to mount from adb shell, the tablet would reboot.

They are specific to the kernel source code, yes.
I most likely did not have the correct kernel configuration in place, when I attempted my recompile. But since I'm returning the A700, I didn't feel like delving into it further. The articles I linked to earlier should be a good start if you wish to give it a go.
Any idea how to make CifsManager work on A510?
