i don't know how to look, but i don't think i do:
spycellar:~> cat /proc/modules
ds 6400 2
i82365 22672 2
pcmcia_core 45824 0 [ds i82365]
parport_pc 7276 1 (autoclean)
lp 4580 0
parport 6676 1 [parport_pc lp]
eepro100 16448 0 (unused)
pci-scan 3580 1 [eepro100]
af_packet 6136 1

i'm using the stock debian kernel off my boot CD, and i don't think it
has smbfs in it:
spycellar:~> cat /proc/filesystems
ext2
msdos
vfat
nodev proc
nodev nfs
iso9660
nodev devpts
how do i download and compile a module? i apt-got smbfs, but beyond
that i don't know how to proceed.
thanks again,
