SNIP

FYI, it works with 2.6.22-3-686 (testing) by issueing :

# modprobe cifs
# echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled
(this is needed for this device which does not handle unix extensions)

then :
# mount -t cifs //nasiomega/PUBLIC /mnt/iomega -v -o user=guest,pass=public,domain=WORKGROUP

However, these commands lead to the oops on 2.6.24.

Will try and recompile a kernel with the
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfrench/cifs-2.6.git
contents for the cifs driver, to see if it has been solved.

Best regards,
