I know this probably not how you are used to doing this, but its the way i do it and it will work.

apt-get install smbfs

That will install the smbfs kernel module, which will allow you to mount smb shares.  It also pull in samba.

modprobe smbfs

That will load the kernel module.

mkdir -p /home/your-username-here/newdirectory

That will create a new directory in your home folder, which we will then mount the new share to.

mount -t smbfs -o username=Administrator,password=Password //Windos/share/name  /home/your-username-here/newdirectory

That should be one long command, it then mounts the remote share, to the local folder we just created.  If you do not need to supply a username or password, you can remove those commands.  Now, when you cd or use thunar to navigate to that folder you created, the remote share will be in it.  This will not persist on your next reboot.  That would require you adding the smbfs module to load on boot and edit your /etc/fstab file to load load the share.

The below link, takes you to a debian specific guide for this, and shows you how to edit fstab to load on boot.  Good luck !

This used to work on network manager, im not sure if it still does, but its worth a try.

edit '/etc/pam.d/gdm'
add the last lines to the auth and session lines if they are not already their,

auth            optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so
session         optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so  auto_start

Then edit, '/etc/pam.d/passwd' and add this line
password    optional    pam_gnome_keyring.so

can you just blacklist your wireless module?  network manager will not see any wireless, so it should not attempt to connect.  You can also manually load the module in the event you needed to connect to the wifi.


Edit:

you can also edit the nm-system-settings.conf file and have it ignore specific devices on boot.  Their is a guide on the arch linux wiki, that can give you the gist of it, along with a sample script.

I have a 1000HA with cruncheee installed.  Everything is great except the eee-control-tray will not let me control performance.  I imagine the scripts just do not support my 1000HA.  Is there any thing I can do to be able to control the performance?  I have heardof other scripts being used besides the eee-control-tray.  I just wanted some guidance before I start installing random stuff.  So if anyone has a 1000HA or can point me to a wiki or forum post that would be great.  The Brightness and volume do not change either,  but the wireless will turn off and on.  the performance is the only one I care about though smile


Thank you, Justin.

Hey, great application!  I saw it posted here on the forums, I downloaded it and compiled and it worked fine.  It was just what I was looking for to complete my ob setup.  I run Arch Linux and posted this app on the forums and people seem to be liking it, we even have a pkgbuild that tracks your bzr repo.  I am running the latest version on x86_64 and everything is running great.  I run xcompmgr and not having transparency is something I can deal with, hopefully some people jump on board and help you out.  Once again, good job.

Here is the link to your pkgbuild.  Must be nice to have people use your software smile
