this module is for anyone who does not want to run a custom kernel

it is built off the latest source released by google for ics 4.0.3 on the gnexus

but i'll give your kernel a go for fun

Don't forget that to load/insert a module, one needs root access.

Don't you need the slow-work.ko compiled for 4.0.3 as well, to make things like CIFSManager work?

Will this trash battery life? If I remember correctly, Franco removed it from his kernal because it hosed the battery.

Yes!

Hope to have nls_utf8.ko to support any non-english char as well!

I've never had an issue with cifs killing battery life...

also note, franco compiled the cifs functionality INTO the kernel not as a loadable module

you can simply rmmod cifs to remove it from the kernel.

im not sure how he determined cifs was the culprit it seems very strange.

What is the practical application for this? I'm not hating on it, just curious what people are using this for. Can you mount SMB/CIFS shares in the file system this way?

This module won't work. It has to be built against the kernel to get the same magic number. Try and insmod it on i.e. Franco, and do a dmesg.
